Variation in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest resuscitation and transport practices in the Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium: ROC Epistry-Cardiac Arrest
2011, ResuscitationCitation Excerpt :Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OOHCA) is a major cause of death in North America.1–4 Witnessed events, bystander initiated cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), presenting rhythm of ventricular fibrillation, arrest location and the prehospital return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) have all been associated with increased survival.1,5–18 Assessments of incidence and outcome also indicate community-level variation as a significant factor in EMS treatment and survival from OOHCA.1,6,19
A comprehensive investigation of cardiac arrest before and after arrival of emergency medical services
2010, ResuscitationCitation Excerpt :A few studies have reported demographic trends and survival in patients who arrested after arrival as their primary objective.7–14 Additionally, other studies have reported data on patients who arrested after arrival secondary to other purposes.15–27 Like our study, most of these papers reported around 10% of all cardiac arrests occurred after arrival of EMS, though proportions varied from less than 5% in Ketchikan, Alaska20 and Alachua County, Florida,25 to over 30% on San Juan Island, Washington.15
