Abstract

Cardiac arrest is one of the most common complications after the hospitalization of critically ill patients. Despite this fact, there is no previous research done to study the outcome of resuscitation in our hospitals. A prospective observational study consisted of 100 consecutive patients (47 male, 53 female), their mean age of (63.65±16.7) years who suffered from cardiac arrest, and had been admitted to the Rozh-Halat Emergency Hospital with signs of life at presentation from January 2016 to April 2016. Among 100 cases, 12 of them had Return of Spontaneous Circulation (ROSC). In those cases with shockable rhythm 26% achieved ROSC, while non-shockable rhythms had only 7.8% ROSC. Among health care professionals who did Resuscitation and Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), Emergency physicians obtained highest rates of ROSC in 7 out of 15 resuscitated cases. Most patients with cardiac arrest have non-shockable rhythm (Asystole/PEA) as their initial cardiac arrest rhythm. Better rates of ROSC were obtained when the initial rhythm was Shockable (VF/Pulseless VT) or when an emergency physician supervised/undertook the resuscitation process.
