Frequency of resuscitation attempts with dying nursing home residents. A full survey in an urban district in Germany based on registry data from 2018-2021.

Aim: The realities of emergency care and resuscitation research involving nursing home (NH) residents suggest an overuse of resuscitation attempts in NHs. A complete analysis of all NH resident deaths is needed to provide a complementary perspective of potential underuse. The present research investigated whether residents of different NH homes died at the NH during attempted resuscitation or after transfer to hospital.
