Abstract

To evaluate the outcome and the factors concerned with of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients according to the location of the collapse. From May 1st, 1998 to April 30th, 2001, 15,211 consecutive out-of-hospital cardiac arrest cases considered for resuscitation were recorded. Of these cases 7540 arrests in subjects aged 18 years or older with cardiac aetiology were analyzed. The outcome and the related-factors, particularly incidence of ventricular fibrillation, were evaluated according to the location of the cardiac arrest. To analyze the factors that affect the incidence of ventricular fibrillation, a logistic regression model was used. About three-quarters of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occurred at private residences. The outcome and characteristics were significantly different according to the location of the arrest. Arrest patients in public or in the work place had a higher chance of being found in ventricular fibrillation and survival than those at a private residence. The multivariate adjusted odds ratios for ventricular fibrillation in a public or work place were significantly higher than that in private residences, after adjusting for covariates affecting initial rhythm, such as age, sex, witnessed status, bys...Continue Reading

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.
