ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Survival after cardiopulmonary resuscitation depends upon the quality of pre-hospital support, availability of resuscitation equipment and the competence of the resuscitator. There are few data on the prognosis of patients undergoing such resuscitation in India.METHODS:
In a retrospective analysis of 215 resuscitations done in a 125-bed community hospital between January 1995 and November 1997, return of spontaneous circulation and survival to discharge were evaluated. Multivariate methods were used to identify the predictors of successful outcome.RESULTS:
Of all the patients, 14.4% were alive at discharge. Survival after a cardiorespiratory arrest in the hospital was 18.4%, which was significantly better than survival after pre-hospital events (5.9%; p = 0.027). Multivariate predictors of survival at discharge were resuscitation duration of less than 20 minutes [odds ratio (95% confidence limit) 32.6 (6.5-164.3)], presentation with ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation [odds ratio 18.5 (4.4-77.9)], in-hospital cardiorespiratory arrest [odds ratio 5.2 (1.2-21.6)] and female sex [odds ratio 3.2 (1.1-9.6)]. Bystander resuscitation, though rarely provided, increased survival at discharge (p = 0.026).CONCLUSIONS:
With 5.5 resuscitation attempts needed for one live discharge after in-hospital cardiorespiratory arrest and 17 attempts to save a life after pre-hospital events, our outcomes are comparable to those reported from developed nations. A return of pulse after shorter durations of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, ventricular fibrillation or tachycardia as the abnormal presenting rhythm, in-hospital location of cardiorespiratory (CR) arrest and female sex were independent predictors of live discharge. Age and aetiology of CR arrest did not influence the outcome.
