Survivabilty of Pre-Hospital Cardiac Arrest

Researchers considered the hospital-discharge abstracts of survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest before (227 patients) and after the introduction of a new protocol for therapeutic hypothermia (413 patients), with both assemblies having alike baseline characteristics.

Overall survival to issue between the before and after phases sophisticated substantially, from 17.2% to 28.8%, conclusions showed. Importantly, survival rates sophisticated for all prime tempos, including ventricular fibrillation (VF)/ventricular tachycardia (VT) (41.8% vs 54.5%), pulseless electric driven undertaking (PEA) (4.4% vs 16.1%), and asystole (3.8% vs 10.1%). The best survival deductions were glimpsed for ...
