“…International studies show that the Pulseless Electrical Activity (PEA) and asystole are the initial rhythms most diagnosed at the time of in hospital CPA, followed by Ventricular Fibrillation (VF) and pulseless Ventricular Tachycardia (pVT), and the last two are associated with lower mortality rates of the victims (3)(4) .…”

“…Data from the UK National Cardiac Arrest Audit reports an incidence of 1.6 events per 1000 hospital admissions, of which 18.4% patients survive to leave hospital. [1] Cardiac arrest educational debriefing is a technique where clinicians review cardiac arrest performance using data collected during the cardiac arrest with a view to improving subsequent practice. [2] Its use is recommended in international resuscitation guidelines.…”

“…Höheres Alter ist mit einer niedrigeren kurzfristigen Überlebensrate nach Kreislaufstillstand assoziiert [824][825][826][827][828][829]. In einer großen Registerstudie zu OHCA lag das Überleben bei Krankenhausentlassung bei 8 % für Patienten zwischen 65 und 79 Jahre, 4 % für die 80-und 2 % für die 90-Jährigen [826].…”
