Resuscitation

We aimed to investigate whether trained intensivist coverage affects survival outcomes following in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ICPR) for in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA). ⋯ Trained intensivist coverage in the ICU was associated with improvements in both short and long-term survival outcomes after ICPR for IHCA.

Our aim was to determine the association of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for in hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) with quality of life after discharge. ⋯ Our review is limited by the lack of adjustment for confounders, including the baseline level of each outcome, in all included studies. Therefore, although risk for most outcomes was increased after discharge vs pre-admission we cannot be certain if this is a causal relationship.
