Éxito de la reanimación cardiopulmonar y supervivencia al alta en adultos no ancianos con PCR intrahospitalario del Hospital Dr. Teodoro Maldonado Carbo de Guayaquil, período 2016.

Abstract

Objective: To determine the percentage of successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation and survival at discharge in non-elderly patients with in-hospital CPA in the emergency, ICU and coronary intensive care areas. Design: Retrospective cross-sectional observational study of a group of patients who presented in-hospital CPA over a one-year period. Materials and methods: Data were collected from all non-elderly patients (≥18 and ≤65) admitted to the ER, ICU and coronary intensive care units of the hospital from January to December 2016, who underwent CPA and underwent to CPR. CPR was performed 123 times in 89 patients. The clinical outcomes of interest were success at the end of CPR and survival at discharge. Factors associated with success and survival were assessed by bivariate correlation: Spearman's coefficient and a p of significance less than 0.05 and less than 0.01. Results: Of the 123 resuscitations executed, 39 resuscitations (31.71%) were successful. However, only 5 patients (5.60%) survived discharge. The mean age of patients requiring CPR was 50.22 ± 12.61 years. Men required CPR more than women. There were 60 men (67.40%) and 29 women (32.60%). Conclusion: CPR at the hospital for cardiopulmonary arrest was associated with a 31.71% success at the end of CPR, but only 5.60% of the resuscitated patients survived to discharge.
