Extracorporeal CPR refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest

Extracorporeal CPR for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: New research fails to provide answers

While a previous study had found that extracorporeal CPR outperformed conventional CPR among patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, a newer analysis suggests the two treatment options result in similar outcomes. 

New wearable device, no bigger than a stamp, uses AI to deliver on-the-go cardiac imaging

New stamp-sized wearable device uses AI to deliver on-the-go cardiac imaging

The device, designed to be worn for up to 24 hours at a time, uses ultrasound technology and artificial intelligence to track how much blood the user's heart is pumping.
