    AbstractA retrospective study was performed concerning prehospital cardiac arrest. This revealed that 177 consecutive patients received advanced medical resuscitation by an anaesthesiologist at the site of the accident during the period 01.01.1988-31.12.1988. A total of 61 (35%) were admitted to hospital and 24 of these (14%) survived for more than 30 days. All 24 were discharged to their homes without major cerebral sequelae. After one year, 21 were still alive. Compared with the results of previous studies in Copenhagen, this study reveals that the overall survival rate may have improved and that cerebral function after cardiac arrest seems to have been improved by the introduction of prehospital medically staffed ambulances.
