Video call-assisted dispatcher guidance improves CPR quality metrics in simulation study of untrained students
Can a video call help someone save a life when they've never learned CPR?
A randomized, single-blind, manikin-based trial with 85 university students without prior CPR training found video call-assisted dispatcher …
A video call where a dispatcher demonstrates CPR on a manikin helped untrained students perform deeper compressions with fewer pauses than a…
Video laryngoscopes improve success rates and reduce dental compression compared with direct laryngoscopes in pediatric cardiac arrest simulations.
When saving a child's life, does the camera on the tube make a difference?
This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated 13 simulation-based studies involving 2,080 intubation attempts on pediatric manikins. Vi…
In simulated emergencies, tools with cameras helped doctors place breathing tubes faster and more often than older tools. This review looked…
Supraglottic airway versus endotracheal intubation shows no overall survival benefit in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
Study finds airway device choice doesn't change survival after cardiac arrest outside hospitals
A systematic review and meta-analysis of 14,797 patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest found no significant difference in return of sp…
Paramedics saving people whose hearts stop outside hospitals find no survival benefit from complex breathing tubes versus simpler airway dev…
NIRS-measured cerebral oxygen saturation predicts ROSC and neurological outcomes in adult cardiac arrest
Brain oxygen monitoring during CPR may help predict recovery chances after cardiac arrest
A meta-analysis of 3880 nontraumatic adult cardiac arrest patients found that higher delta regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO) values …
Measuring brain oxygen during CPR helps predict if a heart restarts and if patients will recover brain function after cardiac arrest.
