      Background: Whole body ischemia and reperfusion injury after cardiac arrest leads to the massive inflammation clinically manifested in the post-cardiac arrest syndrome. Previous studies on the inflammatory effect on circulatory failure after cardiac arrest have either investigated a selected patient group or a limited part of the inflammatory mechanisms. We examined the association between cardiac ...

      Background - The impact of intestinal injury in cardiac arrest is not established. The first aim of this study was to assess associations between clinical characteristics in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and a biomarker for intestinal injury, Intestinal Fatty Acid Binding Protein (IFABP). The second aim was to assess associations between IFABP and multiple organ dysfunction and 30-day ...
