How long should we run the code? Survival analysis based on location and duration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) after in-hospital cardiac arrest

Figures & data

Figure 1. Comparison of survival percentage based on initial rhythm at the time of cardiac arrest in hospitalized patients [14]

Table 1. Selection criteria

inclusion criteria:

cardiac arrest during hospitalization

cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for cardiac arrest

CPR for more than 5 minutes

exclusion criteria:

age < 18 yrs.

cardiac arrest in the emergency department

out of hospital cardiac arrest

Figure 2. Demonstrating the inclusion and exclusion of subjects based on the above-mentioned criteria. (ER = Emergency room, OOH = out of hospital cardiac arrest)

Figure 3. ROSC and Survival comparison between ICU and Non-ICU patients. (ROSC = return of spontaneous circulation, ICU = intensive care unit) (p = 0.082)

Figure 4. Relationship of the duration of CPR with ROSC and survival. (CPR = Cardiopulmonary resuscitation, ROSC = Return of spontaneous circulation) (p < 0.0001)
