Clinical Advances in Cardiac Arrest and Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, the field of cardiopulmonary resuscitation has experienced rather incredible developments pertaining to post-arrest temperature management, novel approaches to defibrillation, and the use of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Advancements including physiologic feedback and the use of point-of-care ultrasound have added an element of personalization to the historically algorithmical approaches.

In this Special Issue of the Journal of Clinical Medicine on ‘Clinical Advances in Cardiac Arrest and Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation’, we aim to highlight measures that can be undertaken to optimize arrest recognition, EMS activation, and defibrillator access and use; underscore the technologies that can aid in intra-arrest care, augment perfusion, and increase survival; emphasize the ways to improve neurologic outcomes following return of spontaneous circulation; and present discussions on the future of neuroprotection.

We cordially invite contributions from worldwide experts in the field of cardiopulmonary resuscitation exploring the aforementioned issues at the forefront of the field.

Dr. Eugene Yuriditsky
Guest Editor
