Feasibility of TEE During Cardiac Arrest in Dutch Emergency Departments
The goal of this feasibility study is to learn if Dutch ED providers are able to use transesophageal echocardiography during cardiac arrest. The main question it aims to answer is: • are the ED providers able to determine the area of maximal compression of the heart using TEE
Heart Rate Variability in Early Prediction of a Noxic Brain Injury After Cardiac Arrest
Despite advances in post-resuscitation care of patients with cardiac arrest (CA), the majority of survivors who are treated after restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) will have sequelae of hypoxic-ischemic brain injury ranging from mild cognitive impairment to a vegetative state. Early prognostication in comatose patients after ROSC remains challenging. Recent …
Mosaic Mitral Valve: Long-Term Outcomes in Patients Under 65
The safety and efficacy of the Mosaic bioprosthetic heart valves for cardiac valve replacement in the aortic position has been well documented throughout the literature. However, few studies assessing structural valve deficiency, patient outcomes and overall product performance in patients under the age of 65 exists for the Mosaic mitral …
Monitoring and Optimization of Cerebral Perfusion Pressure in Post-cardiac Arrest Patients: a Pilot Study
The goal of this study is to establish the ICP and CPP monitoring process and analyze the results in post-arrest patients, to validate the correlation between direct and non-invasive ICP monitoring indicators, to establish a protocol of management of elevated ICP and insufficient CPP in post-arrest care, to establish a …
Effect of AED-optimized Telephone-assisted CPR Instructions on No-flow Time and Chest Compression Fraction
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains a leading cause of mortality worldwide, with survival highly dependent on the immediate initiation of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Early recognition, prompt chest compressions, and rapid defibrillation are critical components of the chain of survival. Telephone-assisted CPR (T-CPR) provided by emergency dispatchers has been shown …
Respiratory Parameters Using Advanced Airways During In-hospital Cardiac Arrest
The investigators aim to investigate the real life volumes of air delivered to the lungs when rescuers deliver these breaths by hand as part of resuscitation attempts during cardiac arrest. The study will compare the volumes achieved using different devices which are routinely used to provided an airway during routine …
fMRI in CardiaC arrEst With Uncertain Prognosis
The goal of this observational study is to determine whether specific advanced MRI measures are associated with functional outcomes in patients who are comatose after cardiac arrest. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: Aim 1: Determine if stimulus-based functional MRI (fMRI)-measured activations are independently associated with favorable neurological …
Mind Your Heart-II
This projects studies the role of mindfulness training (MT) to improve self-care among patients with heart failure and cognitive impairment.
Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy for the Treatment of Refractory Ventricular Tachycardia
Ventricular tachycardia (VT) is an abnormal rhythm arising from the bottom chambers (ventricles) of the heart. The hearts of most patients who develop VT have been previously damaged by a myocardial infarction (heart attack) or other heart muscle diseases (cardiomyopathies). The damage produces scar or fatty deposits that conduct electrical …
Clinical Study of Endocardial Myocardial Biopsy
In this study, patients with endocardial myocardial biopsy were selected to observe the safety of the operation, and pathological examination was performed. If necessary, special tests such as viral examination, mass spectrometry and molecular biology were performed to confirm the diagnosis, and follow-up was performed.
