Cardiac arrest is a fatal event that may occur in adults due to different arrhythmias such as pulseless ventricular tachycardia (VT), pulseless electrical activity (PEA), ventricular fibrillation, or cardiac asystole. The present article is a synopsis of a study carried out to assess the rate of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) success and the survival rate in managing cardiac arrest among patients in an educational medical center. Several types of research have focused on identifying the factors that impact the patients’ probabilities of responding to cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
From these studies have suggested that accurate resuscitation rates based on different factors vary from one hospital to other. Using such data a hospital staff can be educated to improve the condition in CPR. The purpose of this study was to assess the rate of CPR success and the survival rate in…
