Prospective Multi-centre Observational Study on the Epidemiology, Risk Factors and Consequences of Unexpected Cardiac Arrest in Intensive Care Units.
In Brief
An observational study evaluating cardiopulmonary resuscitation for Heart Arrest. Completed, enrolled 677 participants across 45 sites.
Detailed Summary
Unexpected cardiac arrest involves approximately 0.5 to 5% of patients admitted in Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Even if they have a technical environment conducive to prompt diagnosis and prompt treatment, patients hospitalized in ICU suffer from chronic illnesses and organ failure(s) that obscure the prognosis of cardiac arrest. Although extra cardiac arrhythmias or intra-hospital arrests are the subject of numerous publications, few studies specifically focus on unexpected cardiac arrest in ICU (none in France). The objective of our work is to produce a prospective epidemiological description of unexpected cardiac arrest in in French ICUs.
