Results from the RAPID-MIRACLE trial have found, for the first time, that the widely used MIRACLE 2 risk score can be applied outside a hospital setting to accurately predict brain injury following a ...

Each year in the U.S., more than 300,000 people die from sudden cardiac arrest, a condition in which the heart's electrical ...

To address out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, Osaka Metropolitan University researchers developed a new scoring method that uses only data available from prehospital resuscitations to accurately predict ...

A machine learning algorithm running on a smartwatch demonstrated the ability to detect sudden loss of pulse with high specificity (99.99%) and moderate sensitivity (67.23%), according to a study led ...

A smart-technology wearable wristband device may be able to automatically detect cardiac arrest, which could lead to faster medical assistance and increased survival odds when cardiac arrest occurs ...

Prehospital resuscitative thoracotomy was feasible for traumatic cardiac arrest (TCA) in a mature, physician-led, urban system and was associated with improved survival, particularly when performed ...

Advanced care provided by air ambulance teams was linked to higher survival rates in major trauma patients. Researchers found that more people survived than predicted by standard models, including ...

The R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center at the University of Maryland has opened a clinical trial to study whether rapidly cooling the body temperature of patients whose hearts stop due to massive ...
