Comparative Study
A Prospective Crossover Study Comparing Six Current Generation Supraglottic Airway Device's Ability to Seal During CPR in Human Cadavers.
Supraglottic airway (SGA) devices are frequently used during cardiopulmonary respiration (CPR), but little is known about their ability to consistently seal the airway during CPR. ⋯ In this human cadaver model, the ability to generate negative ITP varied with different SGAs during aCPR with an Impedance Threshold Device.

Multicenter Study
Characteristics of Intracranial Hemorrhage and Acute Aortic Syndromes Resuscitated with Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (ECPR).
Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) and acute aortic syndrome (AAS) are etiologies associated with unfavorable outcomes in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), even with extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR). ⋯ ICH and AAS should be considered potential causes of cardiac arrest, especially in cases with a nonshockable initial cardiac rhythm. However, differentiating them from cardiac causes of arrest remains challenging.
