Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
NSE as a Predictor of Death or Poor Neurological Outcome after Non-Shockable Cardiac Arrest Due to Any Cause: Ancillary Study of HYPERION Trial Data.
Prognostication of hypoxic-ischaemic brain injury after resuscitation from cardiac arrest is based on a multimodal approach including biomarker assays. Our goal was to assess whether plasma NSE helps to predict day-90 death or poor neurological outcome in patients resuscitated from cardiac arrest in non-shockable rhythm. ⋯ ClinicalTrial NCT02722473.

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) constitutes a significant global health burden, with a survival rate of only 10-12%. Mobile phone technologies have been developed that crowdsource citizen volunteers to nearby OHCAs in order to initiate resuscitation prior to ambulance arrival. We performed a scoping review to map the available literature on these crowdsourcing technologies and compared their technical specifications. ⋯ Our review provides a comprehensive overview of crowdsourcing technologies for bystander intervention in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Future work should focus on clinical outcomes and methods of addressing barriers to implementation.
