Resuscitation

PHILADELPHIA — Immediate coronary angiography and delayed coronary angiography conferred similar outcomes at 1 year in patients resuscitated from cardiac arrest but without STEMI, according to new data from the COACT trial presented at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions.

New endoscopic techniques and changes in the pharmacologic landscape prompted an update in guidelines for managing patients with nonvariceal upper GI bleeding.

The hospitals with the best outcomes for in-hospital cardiac arrest were, compared with other hospitals, more likely to have rapid response teams without competing clinical responsibilities, according to findings published in JAMA Internal Medicine.
