A smart-technology wearable wristband device may be able to automatically detect cardiac arrest, which could lead to faster medical assistance and increased survival odds when cardiac arrest occurs ...

A photoplethysmography-based wristband detects cardiac arrest with high sensitivity in sedated patients in the ICU after withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment, a study finds.

Overall, the findings show that wrist-derived photoplethysmography can detect true cardiac arrest with high sensitivity and few false alarms. The researchers called for larger real-world studies to ...

To address out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, Osaka Metropolitan University researchers developed a new scoring method that uses only data available from prehospital resuscitations to accurately predict ...

Results from the RAPID-MIRACLE trial have found, for the first time, that the widely used MIRACLE 2 risk score can be applied outside a hospital setting to accurately predict brain injury following a ...

When patients receive care after cardiac arrest, doctors can now -- by entering patient data in a web-based app -- find out how thousands of similar patients have fared. Researchers have developed ...

For comatose survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest treated with therapeutic hypothermia, neurological outcomes are not improved with increasing cooling duration, according to a study published ...
