Drowning-related Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest in Denmark: A Six-year Registry-based Study
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Drowning-related OHCA for Drowning and Out-Of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest. Completed, enrolled 31,200 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Within a six-year period from 2016-2021, this retrospective cohort study aims to: 1) report the national incidence of drowning related OHCA's among cases attended by the Danish Emergency Medical Services (EMS), 2) assess survival defined as return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) on scene, by hospital admission and 30-day survival. Furthermore, aspects associated with better outcome are evaluated including actions taken by EMS-personnel and laypersons, geographical localization, type of activity, witnessed event, EMS response times, bystander CPR, initial rhythm, use of defibrillator, airway devices, pre-hospital medication, and patient demographics. This can potentially result in recommendations towards certain educative, preventative, rescue, or treatment strategies to reduce OHCA from drowning.
