Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will address the persistent global challenge of cardiac arrest, where survival and favorable neurological outcomes remain unacceptably low despite decades of research. Our primary aim is to consolidate and disseminate cutting-edge research and innovative strategies to improve patient outcomes. Core challenges to address include the optimization of early recognition and bystander CPR, the refinement of advanced life support (ALS) techniques, the enhancement of neuroprotective post-resuscitation care, and the integration of emerging technologies across the continuum of care.
The scope is comprehensive, covering the entire spectrum of cardiac arrest management. This includes pre-hospital care (bystander intervention, EMS), emergency department and intensive care unit management, novel diagnostic and prognostic methodologies, therapeutic interventions (e.g., ECMO, Targeted Temperature Management), quality improvement initiatives, rehabilitation, and long-term outcomes for both patients and their caregivers.
We invite the submission of original research articles and systematic reviews from across the global community of clinicians and scientists. This Special Issue will foster interdisciplinary collaboration, accelerate the translation of evidence into clinical practice, and catalyze future research to fundamentally improve survival and neurological recovery for patients with cardiac arrest worldwide.
Dr. Kei Hayashida
