Abstract

In-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) has seen a steady increase in the application of technology and techniques since the introduction of closed cardiac massage in 1960. Despite this progress, there has not been a demonstrated improvement in survival rates after in-hospital cardiac arrest over the last 40 years. Identification of prognostic factors associated with survival after a resuscitation attempt can help physician decisions and patients' end-of-life choices in a pre-arrest situation. Using an Utstein-based template we analyzed 219 consecutive adult attempted resuscitations in a large urban teaching hospital over a 3-year period. The main outcome measures were survival to discharge, 1 and 3 months. Backwards stepwise logistic regression was used to select baseline variables that predict survival at discharge, 1 and 3 months. Survival rates at discharge, 1 and 3 months were 15.1, 13.3, and 11.5%. Meaningful neurological status (cerebral performance score of 1) at discharge was achieved in 61% of survivors. Independent predictors of survival were: higher body-mass index (BMI), presence of chronic renal insufficiency (CRI), respiratory arrest, ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation (VT/VF) as initial rhythm and arre...Continue Reading

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
