Women less likely to receive lifesaving intervention for cardiogenic shock than men

Women are less likely to receive lifesaving treatment for cardiogenic shock than men, according to research presented today at ESC Acute CardioVascular Care 2022, a scientific congress of the European Society of Cardiology.

Prolonged unconsciousness is common in COVID-19 patients, recovery often takes days or even weeks

During the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, many patients in intensive care units did not recover consciousness after their breathing tubes were removed and their sedation was stopped, leaving clinicians and families with difficult decisions about whether to continue life-sustaining therapy.

Recovery of consciousness may take weeks for most COVID patients on respirators

Most patients with severe COVID who are put on ventilators regain consciousness after removal of respiratory support, but recovery may take weeks after the period of mechanical ventilation has ended, according to a new study by investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine, Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, Harvard Medical School, NewYork-Presbyterian and Massachusetts General Hospital.

Study: Almost half of over-35s not confident in recognizing cardiac risk during exercise

A new study assessing the knowledge and confidence in recognizing cardiac symptoms has found that almost half of over-35s were not confident in their ability to recognize symptoms of impending cardiac risk – such as a heart attack or sudden cardiac death – while participating in strenuous exercise.

Lab-grown pig heart tissue could open new avenues for the study of heart regeneration

A new way to replicate what happens inside the heart after cardiac arrest could open new avenues for the study of heart regeneration whilst reducing the use of live animals in research, according to a study from the University of Surrey and King’s College London.

Study finds increased risk of early death for survivors of heart attack plus cardiac arrest

Patients who survive a heart attack together with sudden cardiac arrest are at increased risk of dying within six years following hospital discharge.

Medications for epilepsy-like signals during coma do not aid in recovery

Ten to twenty percent of the patients admitted to the intensive care (ICU) after cardiac arrest and resuscitation shows signs of brain activity that appears like epilepsy. For a long time, it was unclear if anti-epileptic medication could help better recovery.

Study finds pediatric acute upper airway infection cases have increased during the Omicron variant surge

Researchers conducted a retrospective cohort study to determine if pediatric acute upper airway infection was more common during the surge of the Omicron strain of SARS-CoV-2 in the US.

Experts issue new CPR guidance addressing highly contagious variants of SARS-CoV-2

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the American Heart Association and collaborating organizations, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Association for Respiratory Care, the Society of Critical Care Anesthesiologists and the American Society of Anesthesiologists, continue to provide interim guidance to address the latest scientific research related to the SARS-CoV-2 virus, particularly the Delta and Omicron variants.

Researchers find a digital silver lining in failed COVID-19 drug trial

A clinical trial in which two test drugs failed to help patients with mild COVID-19 nevertheless had a silver lining: It proved the viability of a study model in which a medication's potential arrhythmic side effects are safely, effectively monitored without the participants ever setting foot in a hospital or clinic.
