SCCM Resource Library-October Journal Club: Critical Care Medicine (2022)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This webcast features two articles from the October 2022 issue of Critical Care Medicine. The first article examines the accuracy of the initial rhythm in predicting a short no-flow time in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. The study finds that the presence of a shockable rhythm has a low sensitivity and an average specificity in identifying patients with a short no-flow time. The second article explores the incidence and outcomes of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in intensive care units (ICUs). The study finds that approximately 1 in 25 ICU admissions result in a CPR event, with a hospital survival rate of around 35%. The study also highlights the importance of patient selection in achieving successful outcomes in ICU CPR. Overall, these articles emphasize the importance of access to care, early defibrillation, and the selection of appropriate treatment in improving outcomes for patients with cardiac arrest. Additionally, the articles suggest that functional outcomes should be considered alongside hospital mortality in evaluating the success of CPR interventions.
