Factors influencing outcome in patients with cardiac arrest in the ICU

Background Post‐arrest variables associated with long‐term survival after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in intensive care unit (ICU) patients remain unclear. This study was designed to identify pre‐ and intra‐arrest factors associated with survival 3 months after CPR in ICU patients and to ide...

Description
Summary:Background Post‐arrest variables associated with long‐term survival after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in intensive care unit (ICU) patients remain unclear. This study was designed to identify pre‐ and intra‐arrest factors associated with survival 3 months after CPR in ICU patients and to identify post‐arrest factors associated with long‐term survival in those who survived 24 h after CPR. Methods A total of 131 ICU patients undergoing CPR from January 2009 to June 2010 were included. Data were retrospectively analysed and categorized based on the Utstein template. Results The overall survival rate 3 months after CPR was 20.6%. Logistic regression analysis revealed that acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE) II score (odds ratio, 95% confidence interval, 0.87 [0.83–0.93]; P
