Study explores survival rates and duration of CPR for in-hospital cardiac arrest
Of all the patients who received CPR for in-hospital cardiac arrest, 67% had a return of spontaneous circulation, which occurred at a median of seven minutes following the start of chest compressions, a retrospective study found.

Better outcomes after IHCA with lidocaine than amiodarone, study finds
In patients with ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) refractory to CPR and defibrillation, use of lidocaine was associated with better 90-day survival and neurological function than amiodarone, according to the retrospective cohort study.

Intubation after in-hospital cardiac arrest not associated with benefit, study finds
The observational cohort study used the Get With The Guidelines-Resuscitation registry to match patients who were intubated within 15 minutes of in-hospital cardiac arrest to patients who were not intubated in the same minute after arrest.

Expedited, repeated shocks, without prolonged compressions, had best outcomes for inpatient VF/VT arrest
The results of this study support the theory that the changing energy status of the heart in the minutes after arrest affects the success of shocks versus chest compressions, the authors noted.
