Ambulance cardiopulmonary resuscitation: outcomes and associated factors in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

Objectives: To assess factors associated with survival of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in patients who underwent cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) during ambulance transport.

Material And Methods: Retrospective analysis of a registry of OHCA cases treated between 2008 and 2014. We included patients who had not recovered circulation at the time it was decided to transport to a hospital and who were rejected as non-heart-beating donors.

[Prognostic factors for mortality in out-of-hospital cardiorespiratory arrest].

Background And Objective: Our purpose was to determine the prognostic factors of mortality among patients with cardiorespiratory arrest (CRA) assisted by 061 emergency teams in Andalusia.

Patients And Method: Retrospective observational study from January 1998 to December 1999 of 1950 cases of out-of-hospital CRA (OH-CRA) assisted by Andalusian 061 emergency teams (ETs). Independent (predictor) variables considered in the study were those defined in the Utstein style, after categorization.
