Cardiac arrest

between, the skills needed for a pediatric call are rarely at their best. There are also some who don’t keep their pediatric skills as sharp as others, because of the low amount of calls they might run on kids. This paper will be focusing on cardiac arrests in children, and opening the reality of how common it is becoming. Everything from what causes it, what is the most common cause, and the unexplainable. The what’s, how’s and whys are all questions that we will be expected to know. There is so

Approximately three hundred thousand cardiac arrests occur annually in the United States, making it one of the leading causes of death nationally (1). Pulseless electrical activity (PEA) is one of the most common forms of cardiac arrest and is generally associated with poor patient outcomes. It has been widely theorized that a focused cardiac ultrasound exam (FoCUS) can play both a diagnostic and a prognostic role during PEA cardiac arrest; however, it has not been adequately studied to-date. This

here to talk about why I believe more people should learn how to do CPR, whether you’re young or old. So, that hopefully in the coming future we can lift the survival rate of cardiac arrest in Australia. You guys might ask what cardiac arrest or CPR is, so I will give you a bit of an insight to what they are. Cardiac arrest is a disorder where the heart suddenly stops beating, which stops the blood flow around the body to the vital organs such as the brain. In this circumstance, CPR if provided immediately

3 causes of death in athletes, especially in the summer. Acclimatization helps the body cope better with the heat and humidity where the practice or event takes place. Hydration should also be available at any time to all the athletes. Sudden Cardiac Arrest:

Sudden cardiac arrest Sudden cardiac arrest is a condition in which the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating. When this happens blood stops flowing to the brain and other vital organs. Arrhythmias can cause SCA. An arrhythmia is an irregular heartbeat and what causes an arrhythmia is when the electrical system that controls the rate and rhythm of the heart isn’t functioning properly. During an arrhythmia the heart can beat too fast too slow or an irregular rhythm. Some arrhythmias can cause

The term “Cardiac Arrest” which I had heard from the news since I was young meant nothing to me until it suddenly took away my uncle’s life on … Kneeling in front of the black-and-white photo of my uncle and hearing the crowd crying at the funeral, I painfully realized how unexpectedly misfortune could happen in life and how little people could do to change it for the first time. As the crowd all leaving after the funeral, the pain on my knee impeded me from standing up, and the pain in my heart

thriving in primary care. I specifically enjoy family medicine and building lasting relationships with patients, as well as internal medicine and seeing a wide variety of cases on a daily basis. My work in a research study involving out-of-hospital cardiac arrest opened my eyes to how discovering new medical knowledge can change how treatment is given, and can have a lasting impact on patient outcomes. Therefore, I plan to participate in clinical research during my medical school career. I also

Description of the issue/concern Participation in high intensity sporting activities is widely considered to be a contributor to positive cardiac health. However, for a portion of the athletic population, sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) poses a serious risk (Chatard, Mujika, Goiriena, & Carre, 2016). Although considered rare with estimates of one death every three days in the United States (Pigozzi, Rizzo, & Maffulli, 2009), the impact of the often-fatal event resonates through society due to the young

Abstract:— The largest cause of natural death in the world is Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCD) i.e. unexpected death caused by loss of heart function. There does not exist any technology that can monitor, analyze, predict and send warning/emergency messages before an heart attack strikes. This project is aimed at defeating heart attack from victimizing people unexpectedly, through the use of the latest cutting edge technologies. A pill as big as a grain of sand is embedded with an ingestible microchip

Pulling off the ramp, we turned onto Church Hill Road responding on a priority one for the cardiac arrest. I tried to review my field guide en-route to the call, but all I could see were flashing lights reflecting off the guide’s pages and crowds of cars moving over for our wailing sirens. Within three minutes we had arrived on-scene and it was clear that our patient was not in cardiac arrest; however, his 12-Lead EKG and oxygen saturation were marginally reassuring and pointed to an active
