Screenshot of an abstract for cardiac arrest after hanging: a scoping review Abstract Background Hanging is a common cause of suicide and asphyxial cardiac arrest. There are few data to inform the treatment of cardiac arrest after hanging. We designed a scoping review to describe evidence relating to interventions and outcomes in patients with and without cardiac arrest after hanging. Methods Medline, Embase and Cochrane were searched from inception to 05/12/2024. Titles and abstracts were screened, and duplicates were removed. Articles were eligible for inclusion if they studied non-judicial hanging in adults or children, included cardiac arrest patients and provided functional or survival outcomes. Results The search retrieved 855 articles. One hundred and nineteen references underwent full-text review. Forty-five studies were included in the review. Studies were mainly from high-income countries and were all observational. There was variation in the terminology for hanging and in the outcomes reported. Survival with favourable functional outcome was rare in patients with cardiac arrest after hanging but was very common in patients without cardiac arrest. Cervical spine, airway and vascular injuries were rare. No studies identified interventions that were associated with improved survival following return of spontaneous circulation. Conclusion There are few data to inform treatment of patients with cardiac arrest after hanging. The available data suggest that cardiac arrest is a critical determinant of poor outcome following hanging. Further research should uniformly report outcomes of patients with cardiac arrest after hanging based on the Utstein template.

🔬 Pleased to share our new scoping review on cardiac arrest after hanging- sadly not an uncommon cause of cardiac arrest which has previously lacked a good quality synthesis of evidence

Giving CPR left me seeking reassurance Lynsey Duncan describes giving cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to a family member at home, and her difficulties in coming to terms with the experience Friday 5 November 2021 was just another day ...

A 2min read but vital for all ambulance staff.

How often do we consider the bystanders experience of providing CPR?

Taking the time to thank them for their input and check their welfare can be invaluable for them. They are the first link in the chain!

Thanks @drscottstewart.bsky.social great to see the group progressing. So much to learn from each other across the globe. Hopefully this conference can be the start of more collaboration and exchange programs of learning and hopefully paramedics to experience other services and practice.

UK based Online Critical Care Symposium. Great to see Callum Sutton and Ben Meadley presenting

A quick reflection on inspiration and motivation for clinicians involved in resuscitation

It takes a system to save a life in cardiac arrest. I’m proud to have played a small part in this paper in The MJA which shows how survival has incrementally improved in Victoria over 25 years and highlights the value of a registry. If you don’t measure, you can’t improve 🤓 🚑
