Filter by:The study will have an observational retrospective cross-sectional design. Patient records and hospital administrative systems at 10 hospitals in Sweden will be searched using ICD-codes to find all patients treated for an in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) during the time period of 20180101 to 20191231. All found patients will be cross-checked against reported patients in the Swedish Registry of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (SRCR). Any differences in patient characteristics or regarding situation factors between reported and non-reported patients will be evaluated. Non-reported patients will be retrospectively reported to the registry. An incidence of IHCA will be calculated using the number of patients treated for IHCA divided by number of hospital admissions during the specific time period. Selected variables will be evaluated regarding compliance to report and regarding concordance with patient records. All missing data will be described and evaluated. Local reporting procedures at each hospital will be described and evaluated regarding compliance to report and regarding missing data.
Cardiac arrest causes the heart to stop functioning to maintain circulation that provides oxygen to the brain. The global incidence of cardiac arrest is 50 to 60 per 100,000 people per year. The incidence of cardiac arrest in Indonesia in 2016 was 350,000 cases, in which 12% were successfully resuscitated, compared to the global success rate of 24.8%. Cardiac arrest events urgently require CPR action that is useful to save lives in an emergency. The application of Code Blue aims to reduce the mortality rate and increase the rate of return of spontaneous circulation. The Code Blue team itself includes a set of teams who are trained in the handling of cardiorespiratory arrest.
COVID-19, which emerged in China in December 2019, has become a pandemic with its spread to many countries of the world. Although it is suggested that hospital admissions are reduced due to some reasons such as trauma, during COVID-19 pandemic, it is controversial whether in-hospital mortality rates changed. Therefore this multi-centered study aimed to determine how in-hospital mortality effected during the pandemic period according to the specific patient groups.
Attitudes among healthcare professionals can possibly affect the treatment given in cardiac arrest situations. The attitudes of healthcare professionals towards cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) has been poorly studied. The few existing previous international results shows attitudes reported by nurses as hesitation, fear of defibrillation, anxiety and fear of harming the patient. The aim of this study was to describe the attitudes towards performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation among in-hospital healthcare professionals, furthermore to assess if experience in performing CPR has an effect on attitudes.
Theoretical knowledge of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is the foundation of being able to perform CPR in a cardiac arrest situation. The knowledge and skills received in training is easily lost and after one year the level is equal to pretraining. International studies regarding knowledge of CPR among healthcare professionals, mostly nurses, show poor results. The knowledge of CPR among Swedish healthcare professionals is poorly studied. The aim of this study was to describe the theoretical knowledge of CPR and self-assessed abilities of performing CPR among healthcare professionals working in four hospitals in Sweden.
This study aimed to retrospectively examine patients evaluated by the Code Blue team on a Code Blue call in our hospital between 2016-2017. Primary outcome: an examination of the survival rates and demographic data of the patients evaluated as an emergency by a Code Blue call in the period 2016-2017. Secondary outcome: to determine the rates of false Code Blue calls, the clinics giving Code Blue calls and the relationship between the times of Code Blue calls and mortality.
The aim of this study is to describe incidence of "in-hospital" deaths and outcomes after attempted cardiac arrest resuscitation, availability of resuscitation equipment and medical staff training in state Hospitals of Sri Lanka.
This study will obtain device-human interaction evaluations for the HWD1000 within the controlled environment of the hospital as well as establish that the safety profile is similar to outpatient wearable cardioverter-defibrillators use.
Clinical audit of in-hospital cardiac arrest management by in situ simulation Objectives: correct latent safety threats, knowledge gap, and crisis resource management (CRM) Design: clinical audit, observational sudy. Primary outcome: In Hospital resuscitation scale. Exploratory outcomes: non technical skills, validated stress inventory, and questionnaire on perceptions of the simulation and organisational changes needed.
