In-house cardiopulmonary resuscitation — after a quarter of a century

Summary

Several variables could have influenced the results of resuscitation after two and one-half decades — selection of resuscitation candidates, resuscitation mechanics, pharmacologic interventions, and post-resuscitation management. However, the outcome of CPR remains consistently poor. It appears that only dramatic changes in candidacy or technique will change the likelihood of survival following in-house CPR.

      A limited number of studies have reported the long-term outcome, in which the one-year survival of patients who were discharged alive varied between 59% and 86% [1,11-23]. When considering the trend of survival rates, survival to discharge shows improvement in time, whereas long-term survival remains nearly unchanged [1-23]. Only a few patient factors have been found to be associated with one-year survival, e.g., lower age [20,22] and the level of patient monitoring [20].

      Few studies have investigated to what degree the ETs actually recognise the causes of arrest during ALS. Despite systematic research on the aetiology and its influence on outcomes after CA and the recommendations to prevent CA by recognising clinical deterioration in sick patients, the incidence of IHCA has remained largely unchanged.3–9 However, an increase in survival has been demonstrated in hospitals working with strategic improvements in the “chain-of-survival” (COS).10,11
