Life support techniques related to survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in infants.
T Abe, T Nagata, M Hasegawa... - Resuscitation, 2012 - AIM OF THE STUDY: The incidence rate of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) among infants is high; however, little is known about effective life-support for this group. Thus, we examined factors related to 1-month survival after OHCA among infants. METHODS: All ...
The mutual interaction of life support techniques and other factors were identified and used to divide the study population into five subgroups. A witness to the cardiac arrest, rescue breathing administered by a bystander, and less than 18min to hospital arrival or a witness to the arrest, no rescue breathing and less than 7min for the ambulance to arrive at the scene were found to be related to higher survival after OHCA in infants. The survival proportions for these subgroups were 44.83% (95% CI: 25.58-64.08) and 19.18% (95% CI: 14.64-23.72), respectively.
