Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the incidence and outcomes of cardiac arrest in critically ill patients in ICUs, identifying a 2% occurrence rate among 7690 patients, primarily affecting older males around 70 years old.
- It found that post-cardiac arrest, a significant 70% of patients developed cardiac failure, with additional organ failures such as renal (26%) and liver (24%) complications being common.
- Mortality rates were high, with 66% of patients dying by ICU discharge, and the SOFA score and liver failure were identified as key predictors of this mortality.
