Multicenter Study
Impact of hypotension after return of spontaneous circulation on survival in patients of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
To investigate the relationship between hypotension in the first 3h after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. ⋯ Among the patients who experienced ROSC after OHCA, post-ROSC hypotension was an independent predictor of survival.

Multicenter Study
Association of recent major psychological stress with cardiac arrest: A case-control study.
We hypothesized that major psychological stress can be a risk factor for cardiac arrest and that effects are modified by elapsed time from specific stressful events. ⋯ MLEs were associated with cardiac arrest occurrence, and the effect was modified by the elapsed time from the MLEs.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Neuron-specific enolase and S-100b in prolonged targeted temperature management after cardiac arrest: A randomised study.
We aimed to investigate the impact of prolonged targeted temperature management (TTM) in cardiac arrest patients on release of serum levels of NSE and S-100b and their prognostic performances. ⋯ No clinically relevant differences were found in the levels of NSE or S-100b between standard and prolonged TTM. Prognostic reliability of NSE and S-100b was unaltered by prolonged TTM.

Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator therapy among patients with non-ischaemic vs. ischaemic cardiomyopathy for primary prevention of sudden cardiac death.
The magnitude of benefit related to implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) therapy for primary prevention of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy (NICM) and ischaemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) has not been evaluated extensively in clinical practice. ⋯ NCT 01992458.

Antiarrhythmic Drugs for Nonshockable-Turned-Shockable Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest: The ALPS Study (Amiodarone, Lidocaine, or Placebo).
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) commonly presents with nonshockable rhythms (asystole and pulseless electric activity). It is unknown whether antiarrhythmic drugs are safe and effective when nonshockable rhythms evolve to shockable rhythms (ventricular fibrillation/pulseless ventricular tachycardia [VF/VT]) during resuscitation. ⋯ URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov.
