Evaluation of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Underlying Medical Conditions in Hospitalized Patients

Abstract

Background: A critical, therapeutic interference that develops the opportunity of survival is cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). One of the practical factors resulting from resuscitation is the presence or absence of underlying disorders in patients. Objectives: This experiment aims to evaluate the primary disease and success rate of resuscitation. Methods: This study was an observational retrospective study; the therapeutic histories of all patients who sustained CPR were collected. A total of 587 patient case histories, who were supported with in Hospital CPR within two years from January 2017 to June 2018, were enrolled in the current investigation. The association of CPR success rate with underlying disease, the first cardiac rhythm observed after monitoring, and the use of cardiac defibrillator was investigated. Results: Overall, the success valuation of CPR in this investigation was 26.3%. There was no notable correlation between the success rate of CPR, and the early detection of cardiac rhythm after monitoring and using a cardiac defibrillator. Past medical histories reported a difference among the success rates of CPR in patients with hypertension, diabetes, and cardiac and renal disease. Conclusions: The current study revealed a significant difference in past medical histories and CPR outcomes.
