Cardiac Arrest, Special Considerations for Emergency and Intensive Care

Dear Colleagues,

The management of cardiac arrest has developed a lot in recent decades with the improvement of systems including bystanders in cardiopulmonary resuscitation attempts, with the enhancement of post-resuscitation treatment, and with the introduction of novel interventions such as extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (eCPR). The aim of the Special Issue is to focus on hot topics affecting the efficacy of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Articles to be included will discuss the current state of the art in CPR in trauma and in some special circumstances, e.g., in extreme sport activities, and the application of extracorporeal methods in cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The hotly debated question of target temperature management is also of great interest among resuscitation specialists. It is also important to include articles analyzing the most important studies investigating the effects of target temperature management in post-resuscitation treatment.
