A surveillance system identified all out-of-hospital victims of cardiac arrests who received emergency aid in King County, Washington, as well as the etiologic condition and cardiac rhythm causing each arrest. During an 18-month period, 649 cardiac arrests occurred (annual incidence 7.2/10,000). Primary heart disease was the cause in 81%. Ventricular fibrillation was the associated rhythm in 57% of cardiac arrests. Based upon the incidence of cardiac arrest in the community and the likelihood of resuscitation under optimal conditions, we estimate the maximum incidence of lives saved to be 2.0/10,000 annually.
一个监测系统识别出了在华盛顿州金县接受紧急救助的所有院外心脏骤停受害者，以及导致每次心脏骤停的病因和心律情况。在18个月的时间段内，共发生了649次心脏骤停（年发病率为7.2/10000）。原发性心脏病是81%病例的病因。心室颤动是57%心脏骤停病例的相关心律。根据社区中心脏骤停的发病率以及在最佳条件下复苏的可能性，我们估计每年挽救生命的最大发病率为2.0/10000。
