Quick takeaways

  • Patients with a presumed cardiac origin cardiac arrest, without ST segment elevation, showed no difference in all-cause mortality at 30 days whether taken to a cardiac arrest center or a local emergency department.
  • Delaying surgery for up to 24 hours for patients with acute appendicitis does not increase the risk of complications like perforation.
