Dispatching Lay Rescuers Through a Smartphone Application is Associated With Increased Bystander Defibrillation in Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest
Linn Andelius | Emergency Medical Services Copenhagen, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark
- RESULTS: In Denmark bystander defibrillation rate for OHCA increased by 2.5-fold as a result of activation of the Heart Runner smartphone app where the runner arrived first vs EMS arrival first.

Association Between Hospital Volume of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation for In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest and Survival to Hospital Discharge
Emmanuel O Akintoye | University of Iowa Hospital and Clinics, Iowa, IA
- RESULTS: Hospital case volume was inversely associated with survival to discharge for CPR given for in-hospital cardiac arrest.

The Most Accurate Massive Transfusion Prediction Score at the Scene of Injury: The Pre-Hospital Traumatic Bleeding Severity Score
Takayuki Ogura | Japan Red Cross Maebashi Hospital, Maebashi, Japan
- RESULTS: Compared to other prediction scoring systems for the need for massive transfusion at the scene of injury, the Pre-hospital Traumatic Bleeding Severity Score demonstrated the highest predictive value.
- Abstract for Ogura

Survival after Intravenous Vs Intraosseous Amiodarone, Lidocaine or Placebo in Out-of-Hospital Ventricular Fibrillation Cardiac Arrest
Peter J Kudenchuk | University of Washington School of Medicine, Seattle, WA
- RESULTS: When given by intravenous administration, amiodarone and lidocaine compared to placebo were associated with a significant increase in survival to hospital for OHCA due to shock-refractory ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia.

Progressive Metabolic Derangement During Prolonged Resuscitation for Refractory VT/VF Cardiac Arrest and the Relationship to Neurologically Intact Survival With Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
Jason A Bartos | University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN
- RESULTS: Increasing length of CPR resuscitation before emergency cardiac life support (ECLS) decreased the chances of a neurologically intact survival; ECLS within 30 min resulted in 100% survival.

When Laws Save Lives: Impact of Legislation Requiring Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Education in High Schools on Survival After Sudden Cardiac Arrest
Victoria L Vetter | CHOP/Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA
- RESULTS: In states with CPR high school education laws bystander CPR, survival to hospital discharge, and neurologically favorable survival was higher.
- Abstract for Vetter
- Presentation Slides (PDF) for Vetter
- AHA Newsroom: Cardiac arrest survival higher in states with required high school CPR training
Sex Differences in Outcomes After Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Patients: Insights From the Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium Continuous Chest Compression Trial
Purav Mody | UT Southwestern, Dallas, TX
- RESULTS: In resuscitated OHCA patients, women were more likely than men to have a return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) but discharge survival and survival with favorable neurological function was less likely.

Different scenarios demonstrated that the yearly incidence of cardiac arrests happening when an AED was present had little effect on the cost-effectiveness ratio.
Lars W Andersen | Research Center for Emergency Medicine, Aarhus, Denmark
- RESULTS: Different scenarios demonstrated that the yearly incidence of cardiac arrests happening when an AED was present had little effect on the cost-effectiveness ratio.
