- Abstract
The prognosis for patients with refractory cardiac arrest transferred to hospital during ongoing resuscitation is poor.[1] Additionally in remote areas, the response time of the emergency medical services (EMS) may be long, which further decreases the likelihood of a good outcome. The most common reason for sudden death during cross-country skiing is acute coronary artery syndrome and subsequent ventricular fibrillation (VF).[2] We describe a patient who suffered a cardiac arrest during a long-distance cross-country skiing competition in northern Finland. Predictors of neurologic recovery in patients who undergo extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for refractory cardiac arrest. Mechanical CPR devices compared to manual CPR during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and ambulance transport: A systematic review.
