Prevention of in-hospital cardiac arrest and decisions about cardiopulmonary resuscitation
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Rates of survival and complete physiological recovery following in-hospital cardiac arrest are poor in all age groups. For example, fewer than 20% of adult patients having an in-hospital cardiac arrest will survive to go home. Cardiac arrest is rare in both pregnant women and children, but outcomes after in-hospital arrest are also poor. Preventative strategies for each of these groups will be considered separately here.
