Summary
Brief summary
In hospital cardiac arrests (IHCAs) are common. The aim of this observational retrospective study is to investigate the outcome of patients who suffered IHCA in AHEPA University Hospital. 1000 patients who suffered IHCA are included in this study. All of them received cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) performed by physicians and nurses of the hospital. Data will be retrieved by the local registry for IHCA which is kept by the hospital. All IHCAs were reported according to the Utstein guidelines for IHCAs. Results will be important in order to identify the actual impact of IHCAs in a tertiary teaching hospital, to come to possible conclusions about potential correlation of outcome with factors such as time or place of IHCAs and accordingly to guide future clinical care and decisions regarding local protocols and management issues.
