BACKGROUND: Guidelines on performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation and its research have been published. Only few data concerning in-hospital resuscitation are available from Switzerland. The aim of our study was to evaluate the frequency and outcome of cardiopulmonary arrests in our hospital and to look for ways of improving our resuscitation management.
METHODS: The prospective study was performed in the Kantonsspital Liestal, a primary care hospital with 360 beds, where about 24'300 in-patients were treated during the 2 year observation period. Only in-hospital resuscitations outside the ICU were included and recorded according to the Utstein criteria.
RESULTS: Within a 24 months period, 61 emergency calls were registered. 25 patients needed cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Initial cardiac rhythms were available for all subjects: 8 patients had asystole, 7 ventricular fibrillation and 10 pulseless electrical activity. 12 of 25 resuscitated patients had a return of spontaneous circulation, 7 lived longer than 24 hours and 6 patients (24%) survived to hospital discharge, 4 of them in a very good or good neurological condition. After 12 months 3 patients (12%) were living independently at home, 2 patients had to be treated in a nursing home and 1 patient had died.
CONCLUSIONS: Our data correspond to survival rates in larger studies from abroad but are limited by the number of patients investigated. Improvements are necessary in documentation of resuscitation efforts. Rapid defibrillation must be further stressed. The implementation of a multicentre study is suggested because quality control and further improvement of in-hospital resuscitation are needed in Switzerland.
