Association between cardiopulmonary resuscitation audit results with in-situ simulation and in-hospital cardiac arrest outcomes and key performance indicators.

Introduction: In-situ simulation (ISS) is a method to evaluate the performance of hospital units in performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). It is conducted by placing a high-fidelity mannequin at hospital units with simulated scenarios and having each unit's performance evaluated. However, little is known about its impact on actual patient outcomes.

Outcome of cardiopulmonary resuscitation in a 2300-bed hospital in a developing country.

Objective: To evaluate the outcome and quality of in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and factors affecting the outcome.

Setting: A 2300-bed university hospital in Thailand.

Method: A 1-year prospective audit according to the Utstein style.
