Abstract: | This review will summarize some of the data published in 2010 and focus on papers published in Critical Care in regard to cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation. In particular, we discuss the latest research in therapeutic
hypothermia after cardiac arrest, including methods of inducing hypothermia, potential protective mechanisms, spontaneous
hypothermia versus therapeutic hypothermia, and several predictors of outcome. Furthermore, we will discuss the effects of
bystander-initiated cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in patients with physician-assisted advanced cardiac life support,
the role of hypercapnea in near-death experiences during cardiac arrest, markers of endothelial injury and endothelial repair
after CPR, and the prognostic value of cell-free plasma DNA as a marker of poor outcome after cardiac arrest. |
