Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation'The artificial substitution of heart and lung action as indicated for HEART ARREST resulting from electric shock, DROWNING, respiratory arrest, or other causes. The two major components of cardiopulmonary resuscitation are artificial ventilation (RESPIRATION, ARTIFICIAL) and closed-chest CARDIAC MASSAGE. Common names: Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation; Resuscitation, Cardiopulmonary; CPR; Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation; Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation; Resuscitation, Cardio-Pulmonary; Code Blue; Mouth-to-Mouth Resuscitation; Mouth to Mouth Resuscitation; Mouth-to-Mouth Resuscitations; Resuscitation, Mouth-to-Mouth |

Results of treatment methods in cardiac arrest following coronary artery bypass grafting.
16 Nov 2009 
BACKGROUND AND AIM OF THE STUDY: Emergency re-revascularization and invasive/noninvasive interventions in intensive care unit (ICU) are two main treatment methods in cardiac arrest following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). We evaluated the ... Read more...
Somatosensory evoked potentials during mild hypothermia after cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Nov 2009 OBJECTIVE: In patients who remain in a coma after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), the bilateral absence of cortical N20 responses of median nerve somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEP) 24 hours after admission invariably correlates with a poor ... Read more...
A hemodynamic profile for consciousness during cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
30 Oct 2009 We report the quantification of a hemodynamic profile sufficient to support consciousness during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. A 62-yr-old man experienced cardiac arrest while being evaluated for heart failure after heart transplantation. During ... Read more...
