Aim Most pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrests (IHCAs) occur in ICUs where invasive
hemodynamic monitoring is frequently available. Titrating cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to …

Aim The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends monitoring invasive arterial diastolic
blood pressure (DBP) and end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO 2 ) during cardiopulmonary …

Background Postoperative neurological complications after spine surgery can result in
increased mortality and morbidity. Despite the introduction of new spinal implants and surgical …

We present a patient with an intraventricular hemorrhage. Imaging identified a left atrial
intraventricular mass and a vague adjacent second periventricular cystic lesion. A guided trans-…

In this paper, we present a patient who was treated for a pontine abscess at our institution.
This patient underwent sub-occipital craniotomy for microscopic abscess drainage after which …

Introduction: During cardiac arrest and CPR, the two primary pumps of the cardiovascular
circuit (the right and left ventricles) are supplanted by a single pump, the chest compression. In …

Methods: After 7 min of asphyxia followed by induction of VF, 18 female 4-week-old swine
randomly received either 1) BP-targeted personalized CPR with titration of CC depth to …

Introduction: The mechanisms through which chest compressions (CC) generate blood flow
remain controversial. The thoracic pump model is CC rate insensitive in the range 60 - 150 …

Methods: CPR was performed on nine domestic swine (∼ 30 kg) using standard physiological
monitoring. Flow was measured in the abdominal aorta, the inferior vena cava (IVC), the …

Introduction: We reported that the pumping mechanism of mechanical chest compression (MCC)
generated blood flow changed after ~10 min of chest compressions. We wanted to …
