Data fra automatiske eksterne defibrillatorer giver vigtig information om kvaliteten af hjertestopbehandling på hospital
Sammanfattning
International guidelines recommend monitoring the outcome following in-hospital cardiac arrest. Using data from automatic external defibrillators (AED) prospectively
collected during a three-year period in a regional hospital, we evaluated the treatment quality of resuscitation. Time to defibrillation was acceptable, but quality of chest
compressions did not comply with current international recommendations. AED use led to a high fraction of time with no chest compressions. Survival to discharge was 11%.
Consequently, training in basic and advanced life support of hospital staff has been modified.
