AbstractThe Fire and Disaster Management Agency (FDMA) of Japan started a nationwide, population-based, cohort study in 2005 and keeps collecting the ambulance transportation records of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests in Japan based on the standardized Utstein style. By analyzing the outcomes of bystander-witnessed arrests among patients who had ventricular fibrillation and arrests, the rate of survival at 1 month is 11.4% and the rate of survival with minimal neurologic impairment at 1 month is 7.1%. The rate of survival at 1 month and the rate of survival with minimal neurologic impairment at 1 month are improved by bystander (family member or other) CPR, early CPR by EMS personnel, and the administration of a shock with the use of a public-access AED. It is important to improvement the ambulance service system by using these statistical data.
