Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Critical Care Medicine
  • Psychology

Context:

  • Investigating patient experiences and outcomes following successful resuscitation from acute, life-threatening medical events.
  • Assessing the psychological and physical impact of resuscitation and the subsequent recovery period.
  • Evaluating patient willingness to undergo resuscitation again and their perceived quality of care.

Purpose:

  • To explore the subjective experiences of patients who have undergone successful resuscitation.
  • To determine long-term psychological and physical well-being after resuscitation.
  • To gauge patient satisfaction with medical care and technology, and their desire for further psychiatric support.

Summary:

  • Of 52 successfully resuscitated patients interviewed, 37 were aware of the event's severity, 20 experienced recurrent depressions, and 24 reported a positive life attitude change.

  • Patients expressed high appreciation for medical staff (49) and technology (40), with 51 of 52 willing to be resuscitated again.
  • A 12-month follow-up with 38 patients (16 deceased) showed 21 felt physically stronger, 25 more cheerful, and 34 lived more intensely; 36 desired more psychiatric care.

    • Impact:

    • Resuscitation is generally viewed positively by survivors, who often report enhanced life appreciation and physical/emotional improvements.
    • Findings highlight the critical need for comprehensive psychiatric support during and after intensive medical interventions.
    • Patient willingness to repeat resuscitation underscores the perceived value of life, even after severe acute events.
