Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the incidence and outcomes of in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) in hospitals across a large Italian region over a three-year period (2012-2014).
- A total of 1,539 IHCA events were documented, with a notable incidence of 1.51 arrests per 1,000 admissions, predominantly occurring on the first day of hospitalization and in the morning hours; the average age of patients was 77.
- The findings showed that 35.7% of patients achieved recovery of spontaneous circulation, and 14.8% survived to discharge, with a significant percentage of survivors experiencing good neurological outcomes, influenced by factors like pre-arrest health and cardiac cause of arrest.

Objectives: The introduction of fast-tracking multidisciplinary programs allows good results in postoperative outcome in many surgical specialties. We evaluated a multimodal clinical program (based on mininvasive surgery, epidural anesthesia and early mobilization and feeding) in abdominal aortic surgery.
Methods: Between June 2000 and October 2005, 323 unselected patients were treated for atherosclerotic aorto-iliac occlusive disease (aorto-femoral bypass) and aortic or aorto-iliac aneurysm (aorto-aortic graft or aorto-iliac bifurcated graft).
