Abstract:
This study evaluates the outcome of cardiac arrest in adults at King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre during 1993. A comparison has been made with other in-hospital cardiac arrest outcome studies. This hospital is a tertiary care center with emphasis on high-risk cases referred for cancer treatment and organ transplantation. It also has a large cardiovascular division. The overall figures compare well with other studies; however, a breakdown of cardiac arrests by location indicates a poor "survival to discharge" rate in those patients outside of the cardiovascular division. It is suggested that a more selective approach be made to attempted resuscitation in certain groups of patients.
