Materials and methods: 53 patients with established OHCA, who underwent cardio-
pulmonary resuscitation and advanced life support by an emergency physician staffed …

Introduction: Hyperfibrinolysis (HF) in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is often
encountered in the emergency department (ED). However, only a few studies on the …

AIM OF THE STUDY: This study investigated the incidence of hyperfibrinolysis upon
emergency department (ED) admission in patients with out of hospital cardiac arrest …

BACKGROUND: Cardiocirculatory arrest (CCA) activates procoagulant pathways. It has also
been reported to inhibit fibrinolysis, resulting in fibrin deposition and further impairment of …

Materials and Methods: In 46 patients the level of fibrinolysis was determined upon
emergency department admission using rotational thromboelastometry. Hyperfibrinolysis …

Background Identifying candidates for extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (eCPR)
is challenging, and novel predictive markers are urgently needed. Hyperfibrinolysis is linked …

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is associated with very poor outcomes. Extracorporeal
cardiopulmonary resuscitation (eCPR) for selected patients is a potential therapeutic option …

Fibrinolytic therapy (FT) during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) has been studied in
several trials, but they have produced unsatisfactory results even in the most recent …

This case report describes massive fibrinolysis after prolonged cardiopulmonary
resuscitation. Lab results revealed unexpected clotting abnormalities, with infinitely …

Background: The authors investigated whether patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
with an initial low cerebral oxygen level during cardiopulmonary resuscitation are more …
