The effectiveness of prehospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation

Abstract

An analysis of the Yakutsk Emergency Department documentation for 2018–2022 was carried out in order to assess the effectiveness of prehospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation. It was revealed that over a number of years, the Department has maintained a fairly high level of successful resuscitation with restored cardiac activity (increased from 0 % in 2005 to 44.7 % in 2022). The result was achieved through continuous managerial efforts (training of mobile team personnel, increasing readiness for extended resuscitation in all mobile teams, gradual acquisition of technical equipment for providing comprehensive emergency services, daily quality control of medical services provided to patients, effective functioning of the operational department). A high-quality resuscitation performed by the teams contributes to the reduced mortality from preventable causes.
