Current trends in the management of out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).
Biomedical Papers of the Medical Faculty of the University Palacký, Olomouc, Czechoslovakia 2024 March 5
Sudden cardiac arrest remains a relevant problem with a significant number of deaths worldwide. Although survival rates have more than tripled over the last 20 years (4% in 2001 vs. 14% in 2020), survival rates with good neurological outcomes remain persistently low, representing a major socioeconomic problem. Every minute of delay from patient collapse to start cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and early defibrillation reduces the chance of survival by approximately 10-12%. Therefore, the time to treatment is a crucial factor in the prognosis of patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Research teams working in the pre-hospital setting are therefore looking for ways to improve the transmission of information from the site of an emergency event and to make it easier for emergency medical dispatch centres (EMDC) to recognise life-threatening conditions with minimal deviation. For emergency unit procedures already at the scene of the event, methods are being sought to efficiently and temporarily replace a non-functioning cardiopulmonary system. In the case of traumatic cardiac arrest (TCA), the focus is mainly on effective affecting non-compressible haemorrhage.
