Background: Cardiac arrest on the wards may be preceded by unmet palliative care needs, including advance care planning and specialty palliative consultation that can seek to align patients’ prognoses and goals for care. Identification of hospitalized patients with limited life expectancy allows for the delivery of appropriate palliative interventions. However, the prognosis on admission of […]

Background: The relation of a patient’s age to survival in cardiac arrest is often discussed at the bedside when clinicians, patients, and families are faced with the question of whether CPR is medically appropriate for elderly individuals. Few studies are available to help guide this conversation. This study sought to evaluate in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) […]

Background: The Modified Early Warning Score (MEWS) is a physiological scoring system developed to identify patients in early stages of clinical deterioration and prevent delays in proper care. It consists of systolic blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, temperature and level of consciousness. Higher MEWS are associated with greater mortality and need for intensive care. […]

Background: Patients with cardiac arrest, either with a shockable or non-shockable rhythm, are at high risk of death and neurological impairment. Hypoxic-anoxic brain injury is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in these patients. (1) International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) recommends moderate therapeutic hypothermia (32°C to 36°C) for patients who achieve return of […]

Background: The role of bedside ultrasound to evaluate traumatic cardiac injury and aortic aneurysm rupture is well established. However, there is a lack of robust data to support the accuracy of use of immediate ultrasonography procedures at the point of care to detect other cardiovascular conditions. Aim of this umbrella meta-analysis was to evaluate a […]

SHM Converge 2023
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic was one of the biggest threats to human health, affecting health and health care delivery systems at both the individual and institutional level. There have been varied reports about how sociodemographic factors affect outcomes of patient with COVID-19 [1] [2] [3]. In this US claims based study, we analysed discharge data […]

Hospital Medicine 2018; April 8-11; Orlando, Fla.
Background: There is limited data on the predictors of outcomes in patients who have in-hospital cardiac arrest. This study aims to understand the factors that might affect the survival from the cardiac arrest and survival-to-discharge after in-hospital cardiac arrest. Methods: Institutional review board of the Cleveland Clinic approved the retrospective cross-sectional study for patients who […]

Hospital Medicine 2019, March 24-27, National Harbor, Md.
Background: Cardiac arrest is a major cause of in-hospital mortality and morbidity. Despite advances in treatment and several interventions to target mortality and improve outcomes, cardiac arrest continues to be a major cause of morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to examine outcomes of cardiac arrest patients. In addition to mortality, length […]

Background: About 209,000 adults experience an in-hospital cardio-pulmonary arrest (IHCA) every year in the US. Known early warning scoring systems (e.g., MEWS, eCART) have shown low efficiency in predicting a patient’s risk of deterioration. We assessed the possibility of using the Rothman Index (RI) as such a tool. Methods: We conducted a retrospective case-control study with 248 adult inpatients at Yale-New […]

Hospital Medicine 2016, March 6-9, San Diego, Calif.
Background: Cardiac telemetry was originally designed to help detect and provide early intervention in arrhythmic complications of myocardial infarction. Today, however, telemetry use continues to expand beyond the critical and coronary care units, despite adequate research displaying questionable benefit. Our study seeks to assess the utility of telemetry in identifying decompensation in patients with documented […]
