In three years 40 patients were resuscitated by ambulancemen after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and survived to be discharged. Twenty-six of these had had circulatory arrest before an ambulance arrived and a further three had developed ventricular fibrillation before they were moved. Thirty-two patients were alive at the time of review six months to three and a half years later. Resuscitation by ambulancemen can be effective for patients with unheralded sudden cardiac arrest as well as for patients with recent myocardial infarction. Survivors of out-of-hospital ventricular fibrillation may have a favourable long-term prognosis.
三年间，40名院外心脏骤停患者经救护人员复苏成功并存活出院。其中26人在救护车抵达前出现循环骤停，另有3人在转运前发生室颤。在6个月至3年半后的复查时，32名患者仍存活。救护人员进行的复苏对未被察觉的心脏骤停患者以及近期心肌梗死患者均有效。院外室颤幸存者可能有良好的长期预后。
