Critical Care Posters ISESSION TYPE: Poster PresentationsPRESENTED ON: Saturday, March 22, 2014 at 01:15 PM - 02:15 PMINTRODUCTION: Cardiac arrest patients are often admitted to CCU/MICU depending on academic setting. We aimed to compare outcomes of cardiac arrest patients based on demographics of the patients admitted to CCU Vs MICU. We also tried to identify role of hypothermia in different type underlying arrest rhythms ⋯ Patients admitted to CCU had better survival rate, home returning rate, less LOS and Ventilator dependent day. The majority of the patients admitted to CCU had Vfib as underlying rhythm compared to PEA/Asystole in MICU patients. Greatest benefit of therapeutic hypothermia was seen in patients with Vfib than PEA/Asystole, with inverse survival relationship noticed if presenting rhythm was asystole.Reference #1: Circulation. 2003; 108: 118-121DISCLOSURE: The following authors have nothing to disclose: Parth Rali, Win NaingNo Product/Research Disclosure Information.
