ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Evaluar la importancia de la aplicación de la desfibrilación semiautomática en el tratamiento de paradas cardiorrespiratorias (PCR) no presenciadas, de cualquier etiología, atendidas inicialmente por unidades de Soporte Vital Básico (SVB), mediante el análisis de la supervivencia y valoración neurológica a los 7 días del suceso. Método: Estudio prospectivo, descriptivo transversal/longitudinal, que analiza la supervivencia y el estado neurológico mediante la Escala de Glasgow-Pittsburg a los 7 días de la PCR de 233 pacientes atendidos durante un periodo de 5 años por el servicio urbano de emergencias extrahospitalarias de doble escalón de Madrid (SAMUR-PC).Resultados: La supervivencia “ad integrum” tras una PCR no presenciada fue de7,29%, muy próxima a los resultados globales de recuperación en nuestro servicio(12%), en los que se incluyen las PCR atendidas inicialmente por unidades de Soporte Vital Avanzado (SVA). Se constata una diferencia significativa entre los pacientes desfibrilados precozmente por SVB y aquéllos que por su ritmo inicial no lo habían sido. La demanda inicial de asistencia sólo hizo prever una PCR en el 37,7% de todos los casos. Conclusiones: La primera respuesta a la PCR con unidades de SVB con desfibrilador semiautomático(DEA) puede alcanzar niveles de supervivencia similares a la asistencia inicial por SVA (AU)


Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the importance of the use of semiautomatic defibrillation for the treatment of out-of-hospital cardio respiratory arrest of any etiology attended initially by basic life support ambulance services. The analysis was based on survival and neurological evaluation 7 days after the event. Design: A prospective, descriptive, transverse, longitudinal study that analyzed survival and the neurological status using the Glasgow-Pittsburgh scale 7 days after cardio respiratory arrest in 233 patients attended over a 5-year period by a twotier, urban, out-of-hospital emergency service based in Madrid, Spain (SAMUR-PC).Results: Survival with complete recovery observed after out-of-hospital cardio respiratory arrest was 7.29%, a figure very similar to the results for recovery in our department (12%), which included the arrests attended directly by advanced life-support services. There was a significant difference between the patients given early defibrillation by the basic life-support team and those in whom this was not performed based on the initial rhythm. It was also found that the initial call for assistance specified cardio respiratory arrest or unconsciousness in only 37.7% of cases. Conclusions: The primary response to cardio respiratory arrest by basic life support ambulance services with semiautomatic external defibrillators can achieve survivals similar to those in patients attended directly by advanced life-support services (AU)
