Study comparing two CPR methods used by EMS providers following sudden cardiac arrest

National Institute of Health press release

In a study published online today in the New England Journal of Medicine, researchers found that cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) administered by emergency medical services (EMS) providers following sudden cardiac arrest that combines chest compressions with interruptions for ventilation resulted in longer survival times and shorter hospital stays than CPR that uses continuous chest compressions. Although compressions with pauses for ventilation lead to more hospital-free days within 30 days of the cardiac arrest, both methods achieved similar overall survival to hospital discharge, the study noted.

Snorri the Flip-Flop Stealing Cat: We Chat With His Owner – Catster

by Anne Forline

Gabrielle Hendel is a busy medical student preparing to specialize in emergency medicine. Her cat, Snorri, meanwhile, makes his own nightly rounds pilfering shoes and flip-flops from the neighbors. Catster recently chatted with Hendel about Snorri’s life of crime. A GoFundMe campaign raised money to buy Snorri a collar camera.

How did you get Snorri and how long have you had him?

Gabrielle Hendel: I found him sad, shivering, and wet in a stairwell of an apartment complex I lived in during school. I thought that if he was still there in the evening, I would take him in and try to find his owners. He was there when I got home, in the same spot, so I brought him in, warmed him up and fed him. He scarfed down some food and fell asleep upside down. Looks like he steals hearts as well as shoes. He wasn’t microchipped and nobody ever claimed him, so I am pretty sure he was dumped.

We’ve had him a little over two years. Our vet says he is almost three.

What kind of cat is Snorri?
