Abstract

BACKGROUND

Since nursing staff in the hospital are frequently the first to witness a cardiac arrest, they may play a central role in the effective management of in-hospital cardiac arrest. In this retrospective study the first 500 in-hospital cardiac arrests in non-monitored areas, which were treated initially by nursing staff equipped with automated external defibrillators (AEDs) are reported.

METHODS AND RESULTS

Between April 2001 and December 2004, 500 in-hospital cardiac arrest calls were made: there were false arrests in 61 patients, so a total of 439 patients (88%) were evaluated using the Utstein style of data collection. ROSC occurred in 256 patients (58%), 125 (28%) were discharged from hospital and 95 (22%) were still alive 6 months after discharge. Among the 73 patients with VF/VT 63 (86%) had ROSC, 34 (47%) were discharged from hospital and 28 (38%) were alive after 6 months. The chance of survival was not influenced by the time between the call of the arrest team and the 1st defibrillation but was slightly higher with physicians as in-hospital first responders (p=0.078). In contrast, 366 patients with non-VF/VT, 193 (53%) had ROSC, but only 91 (25%) were discharged from hospital and 67 (18%) were alive after 6 months. The risk of dying was significantly higher in patients with non-VF/VT (p<0.001), and there was a trend to a higher risk ratio in patients older than 65 years and in patients with non-witnessed cardiac arrest (p=0.056 and 0.079, respectively).

CONCLUSION

This observational study supports the concept of hospital-wide first responder resuscitation performed by nursing staff before the arrival of the CPR-team. Among these patients survival rate was higher in those with VF/VT defibrillated at an early stage. Consequently, it may be assumed that patients may die unnecessarily due to sudden cardiac arrest if proper in-hospital resuscitation programmes are not available.

摘要

背景

由于医院护理人员常常是首个目睹心脏骤停的人，他们可能在医院心脏骤停的有效管理中发挥核心作用。在这项回顾性研究中，报告了在非监测区域最初由配备自动体外除颤器（AED）的护理人员治疗的前500例院内心脏骤停病例。

方法与结果

在2001年4月至2004年12月期间，共接到500例院内心脏骤停呼叫：61例患者为假骤停，因此共有439例患者（88%）采用Utstein数据收集方式进行评估。256例患者（58%）恢复自主循环（ROSC），125例（28%）出院，95例（22%）出院后6个月仍存活。在73例室颤/室速（VF/VT）患者中，63例（86%）恢复自主循环，34例（47%）出院，28例（38%）在6个月后存活。存活机会不受呼叫骤停团队与首次除颤之间时间的影响，但由医生作为院内第一反应者时存活机会略高（p = 0.078）。相比之下，366例非VF/VT患者中，193例（53%）恢复自主循环，但只有91例（25%）出院，67例（18%）出院后6个月存活。非VF/VT患者的死亡风险显著更高（p < 0.001），65岁以上患者和非目击心脏骤停患者的风险比有升高趋势（分别为p = 0.056和0.079）。
