We observed a significant interaction between calendar year and age group (p < 0.001), indicating that the rate of improvement in survival over time was significantly different between age groups. Conclusions For patients with IHCA, rates of survival to discharge have improved significantly from 2000...
By Jon LaPook June 30, 2015 / 7:32 PM EDT / CBS News The Institute of Medicine called for a national campaign to fight the No. 3 killer of Americans, sudden cardiac arrest. The survival rate outside a hospital is just six percent and even when a patient is treated by first ...

As expected, this rate was much higher among subjects with cardiac disease (53.1 per 1000 person-years) than among those without cardiac disease (8.3 per 1000 person-years). In univariate regression analyses, other significant predictors (P<.05) of cardiac mortality were higher age, male sex,...
After adjustment for age, sex, shockable or nonshockable initial rhythm, private or public location, 911 response time, whether the arrest was witnessed, and whether bystanders performedcardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR), decreased survival was independently associated with living on the higher floors (OR...

For patients who make it to the hospital alive after cardiac arrest, treatment with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or therapeutic hypothermia—and preferably both—can substantially increase long-term survival, according to research published in the July 3, 2012, issue of the Journal of ...
Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02750462 Introduction Prognosis for patients experiencing out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is poor, with a survival rate of less than 10%.1 Even among patients initially resuscitated successfully and admitted to the hospital, mortality reaches up...
This study provides strategic issues concerning the induction of mild hypothermia, its complications, and different ways of performing it on patients; using this method helps to increase patients' neurological survival rate. 展开 关键词: Heart Arrest Hypothermia Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest ...
