ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze and discuss the characteristics of cardiopulmonary and cerebral resuscitation (CPCR) in patients after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).Methods:The data of OHCA patients admitted to the directly-managed branch of the Wuxi Emergency Medical Center, covering the period from December 26, 2016, at 7:45 to August 26, 2022, at 7:45. The analysis included the first electrocardiogram (ECG), clinical characteristics, pre-hospital emergency measures, and follow-up conditions in the hospital. Based on the Glasgow-Pittsburgh cerebral function grading at discharge, patients were divided into a CPCR group (grades 1-2) and a non-CPCR group (grades 3-5). The study compared the basic conditions, resuscitation times, and vital signs after resuscitation between the two groups to evaluate the factors affecting CPCR.Results:A total of 6 040 OHCA cases were treated, 3 002 cases received pre-hospital resuscitation. The initial ECG indicated a shockable rhythm in 185 cases, with a shockable rhythm rate of 6.16%. There were 293 pre-hospital survivors, with a pre-hospital survival rate of 9.76%. 170 cases survived to be discharged, with a discharge survival rate of 5.66%. Ultimately, 44 cases achieved CPCR, accounting for 25.88% of the cases that survived to discharge. There were statistically significant differences in terms of first-witness treatment, defibrillable rhythm ratio, defibrillation, response to pain stimulation after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), spontaneous breathing, light reflex, pulse oxygenation, and blood pressure between the CPCR and non-CPCR groups (all P<0.05). The CPCR group showed significantly higher proportions than the non-CPCR group in the defibrillatable rhythm (75.00% vs. 10.44%), undergoing defibrillation (70.46% vs. 9.24%), having spontaneous breathing after ROSC (86.36% vs. 17.27%), and having oxygen saturation >92% with systolic blood pressure >90 mmHg (86.36% vs. 39.76%).There were statistically significant differences between the CPCR and non-CPCR groups in the time from cardiac arrest (CA) to doctor reception, CA to first defibrillation, CA to ROSC, and CA to discharge or in-hospital death (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The patients with successful pre-hospital resuscitation and finally cerebral resuscitation were characterized by short times from OHCA to first medical contact (FMC) and from FMC to ROSC, appropriate pre-hospital vital sign management accompanied by partial neurological recovery, and comprehensive in-hospital neurological prognosis assessment.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate and compare the prevalence of overweight,obesity and central obesity in 2003 and 2013 in a community in Chongqing,and to analyse their prevalence trends.Methods Surveys were conducted in 2003 and 2013 in the community population,and the investigation included questionnaires,anthropometric measurements,blood glucose and lipid determination.Results The number of participants in 2003 and 2013 were 3 073 and 5 938,respectively.The age standardized prevalence of overweight increased from 44.3% in 2003 to 45.5% in 2013 in males and declined from 28.3% to 26.6% in females,but there was no statistically significant difference(P=0.407,0.260).The age standardized prevalence of obesity was steady in males (10.0% vs.10.3%,P>0.05),but declined significantly in females (8.3% vs.6.3%,P<0.05).For central obesity,the age standardized prevalence in 2003 and 2013 was 50.9%,53.9% in males and 39.6%,35.7% in females,which increased significantly among males and decreased significantly among females (P=0.042,0.017).Conclusion The prevalence of overweight,general obesity and central obesity is relatively high in the community,and males have a more significant increase in the prevalence of central obesity.
