Article Synopsis
- Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common but preventable condition that can lead to fatal outcomes, such as pulmonary embolism, especially in cases of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).
- A study analyzing data from Sweden between 2008-2018 found that VTE was associated with OHCA in 2.0% of individuals, with a median age of 69 and a notable higher prevalence in women, particularly younger women.
- The research highlighted that those with VTE-associated OHCA had a significantly lower 30-day survival rate (2.0%) compared to the overall OHCA population (12%), indicating a need for improved awareness and prevention strategies, especially for women.
Objectives: Pulmonary embolism (PE) constitutes one of the reversible causes of cardiac arrest. The prognosis for PE-related cardiac arrest is poor. Some previous studies have suggested a higher survival rate in patients with PE-related cardiac arrest who receive thrombolysis.
