heart arrest/fever

INTRODUCTION After the first cases identified in Wuhan city (China) on December 2019, the novel coronavirus designated SARS-CoV-2 has caused a global epidemic of respiratory illness named COVID-191. To date, more than, 3,000,000 cases have been reported worldwide, including more than 300,000

Significance: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a rapidly spreading infection that has already affected close to a million patients around the world. It is estimated that COVID-19 will be lethal for up to 200,000 Americans. Several cardiovascular manifestations have been reported to be

INTRODUCTION Pneumonia in the intensive care unit (ICU) constitutes the most frequent infection and is most often associated with the application of the mechanical ventilation. VAP (Ventilator - Associated Pneumonia) is defined as the nosocomial pneumonia in a patient on mechanical ventilatory

BACKGROUND: Rapid sequence intubation is the reference anaesthetic procedure for patient at risk of pulmonary aspiration of gastric contents (for example emergency procedure, bowel obstruction, obese patients, gastroesophageal reflux …) or difficult airway management. Nowadays the use of

Decision to perform this observational study was made due to the lack of information on the local incidence and risk factors for the development of immediate postoperative delirium (IPD). A literature review was done to study the already implicated perioperative causative factors as well as other

Subjects will receive temperature management using the IQool. This is an FDA approved device. Managing temperature is part of standard care for this population and surface cooling is commonly employed. The following phases will be conducted as standard of care, and will be reviewed for this

It is estimated that approximately 600 apparently fit and healthy individuals aged under 35 years die suddenly in the UK every year Many of these sudden cardiac deaths (SCD) in the young are the result of inherited cardiac conditions (ICC), the majority of which are the direct consequence of single

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND: The incidence of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in Denmark is approximately 4,000 per year, and the mortality remains approximately 90%. Furthermore, in the approximately 30% of patients who are resuscitated and admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), the

1 CLINICAL TRIAL PLAN 1.1 Trial Objective The objective of this outcome clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of ultra-early therapeutic hypothermia in cardiac arrest patients using the CAERvest® device. 1.2 Trial Design This clinical trial is a single centre randomized

Hypothermia (HT) is used as an adjunctive treatment to improve outcome in comatose survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Optimal temperature is debated and in the TTM-trial (Target Temperature Management study), which randomized to management at either 33 degrees C or 36 degrees C for

Non Traumatic Coma in children is an important pediatric emergency. It has been an enigma for clinicians for many years. To find the cause of coma and to determine the prognosis is a taxing question for the attending clinicians and the primary concern for relatives in every case. Non-traumatic coma

At this follow-up physical activity will be evaluated by self-reported questions based on the recommended levels from American College of Sports Medicine and the American Heart Association for physical activity and physical training for secondary prevention after myocardial infarction The first aim

Background: Despite recent advances in supportive care for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), mortality remains >40%. Fever worsens and hypothermia mitigates animal models of ALI and in small non-randomized in patients with ARDS. Since hypothermia reduces oxygen utilization as

Severe pneumonia is a serious infection in children which requires timely intervention. Management of severe pneumonia is done by appropriate antibiotics and supportive care. WHO recommendation is to use injection ampicillin four times a day for 3-5 days and injection gentamicin once a day for 3-5

Scrub typhus is a zoonotic disease caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi confined to East Asia including South Korea. It is characterized by fever, headache, rash, and eschar and the majority of patients without complications can recover with an early diagnosis and proper management with antibiotics.
