Prognostic Factors of Cardiopulmonary Arrest Patients by a Physician-Staffed Helicopter.
Air Medical Journal 2018 September
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to identify the prognostic factors of cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA) patients transported by a physician-staffed helicopter who received cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) using AutoPulse (ZOLL Circulation, Sunnyvale, CA).
METHODS: A total of 110 CPA patients who had CPR performed on them in the helicopter using AutoPulse were enrolled in this retrospective study. We used logistic regression analysis to examine the prognostic factors of CPA patients who were transported by a physician-staffed helicopter.
RESULTS: Of these patients, return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) during transportation was observed in 19 (17.29%); 1 (.9%) survived through hospital discharge without neurologic disability. In multivariate analyses, bystander CPR (P = .023) and the time from the first call to the arrival of a helicopter medical crew (P = .041) were selected as independent factors associated with ROSC.
CONCLUSION: In our study, factors such as early contact from the first call to the arrival of a helicopter medical crew and the presence of bystander CPR appeared to play an important role in attaining ROSC of CPA patients who were transported by a physician-staffed helicopter using AutoPulse.
