This damage may range from moderate disability to a persistent vegetative state. A 2012 review suggests that while survival rates of traumatic cardiac arrest are higher in children, so is the incidence of neurological complication. [8]
Over a period of assessment from 2006–2012, the survival rate was 58 percent, which was an improvement over the years 1993–2006 when only 34 percent of victims survived. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] This increase is likely due to prompt CPR, access to defibrillation , and higher public awareness of this phenomenon.
[30] [31] [32] Cardiac arrest survival-to-hospital-discharge, as of 2020, is around 10%. [33] Common long term complications of cardiac arrest and subsequent PCAS include: anxiety, depression, PTSD , fatigue, post–intensive care syndrome , muscle weakness, persistent chest pain, myoclonus, seizures, movement disorders and risk of re-arrest.
The overall rate of survival among those who have OHCA is 10%. [135] [136] Among those who have an OHCA, 70% occur at home, and their survival rate is 6%. [137] [138] For those who have an in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA), the survival rate one year from at least the occurrence of cardiac arrest is estimated to be 13%. [139]
According to the CDC, the specific objectives of the project are: [7]. To quantify the incidence and location of cardiac arrest events; To track the performance of each component of the Emergency Medical Services system (e.g., 9-1-1 dispatching and pre-arrival phone instructions, bystander care, first responder, ALS ambulance and definitive care)
The LUCAS device delivers high-quality compressions at a continuous rate, while up to a third of manual compressions can be incorrect. [9] In 2013, a 68-year-old male made a complete recovery, including no intellectual or neurological deficits, after an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest after 59 minutes of mechanical compressions on a LUCAS device.
Research using cardioplegic blood infusion resulted in a 79.4% survival rate with cardiac arrest intervals of 72±43 minutes, traditional methods achieve a 15% survival rate in this scenario, by comparison. New research is currently needed to determine what role CPR, defibrillation, and new advanced gradual resuscitation techniques will have ...
