Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

I am delighted to invite you to submit your manuscripts to a Special Issue entitled "Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation in Emergency Care Units". This Special Issue will focus on the latest advancements, challenges, and innovations in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) within emergency care settings.

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation remains a cornerstone of life-saving interventions during cardiac arrest. Despite significant progress, challenges persist in optimizing outcomes through improved techniques, protocols, and the integration of novel technologies. This Special Issue seeks to foster discussions and present high-quality research addressing these challenges while also exploring emerging solutions in emergency care environments.

The aim of this Special Issue is to provide a comprehensive platform for researchers and clinicians to share their findings, experiences, and ideas that contribute to the advancement of CPR practices in emergency care. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, innovative CPR devices, advanced training methodologies, CPR quality monitoring, post-resuscitation care strategies, and community-based interventions to improve survival rates.

I welcome submissions of original research articles, reviews, and case studies. I look forward to receiving your contributions.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Clinical Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.

Background/Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the optimal ventilation mode during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) by comparing the effects of chest compression-synchronized ventilation (CCSV) and intermittent positive-pressure ventilation (IPPV) on arterial blood gases. Methods: This prospective randomized controlled study included patients presenting with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest who were randomly assigned to the CCSV or IPPV groups. Arterial blood gas analysis was performed at the start of CPR and 10 min after initiating mechanical ventilation. Primary outcomes included changes in the arterial oxygen and carbon dioxide pressures. Results: Of the 144 patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, 30 were included in the study, with 15 each assigned to the CCSV and IPPV groups. The median arterial oxygen pressure in the CCSV group was 76.1 [22.8; 260.3 interquartile range], compared with 8.8 [−1.6; 113.9 interquartile range] in the IPPV group (p = 0.250). The change in carbon dioxide pressure was −10.3 [−18.3; −2.7 interquartile range] in the CCSV group and −11.5 [−39.5; 5.6 interquartile range] in the IPPV group (p = 0.935). Wilcoxon signed-rank test results revealed significant differences in arterial oxygen and carbon dioxide pressure levels before and after treatment in the CCSV group (p = 0.026 and 0.048, respectively). However, in the IPPV group, changes in arterial partial pressure of oxygen and carbon dioxide before and after treatment were non-significant (p = 0.095 and 0.107, respectively). Conclusions: Although CCSV significantly improved oxygenation and ventilation in patients undergoing CPR, it cannot be considered superior to IPPV. Full article
