چکیده
Background: During recent years, in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), management has receivedmuch attention. However, the rate of survival after in-hospital resuscitation in Nemazee Hospital is not known.Therefore, this study was designed to evaluate the outcome of in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)in Shiraz, Iran.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on all cases of in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Ageand sex of patients, shift, time from the onset of cardiac arrest to the initiation of CPR, and also defibrillation,duration and result of CPR were recorded in a checklist.Results: 459 cases of CPR (62.3% males and 37.7% females) were enrolled. The survival rate was similar forboth sexes. 1st hr survival was observed in 10.6% of cases and only 0.4% survived to discharge. The key predictorsof survival to hospital discharge were CPR duration, time from the onset of cardiac arrest to the initiation ofCPR, and defibrillation within the first few minutes of cardiac arrest.Conclusions: More attention must be paid to cardiopulmonary resuscitation managements to promote the survivalafter cardiopulmonary resuscitation and provide accurate data on our performance with regards to the chainof survival.
