This study look into tactors affecting the resuscitation result of traumatic cardiac arrested patients. We studied prospectively 278 traumatic cardiac arrested patients(male; 20l cases, female; 77cases, mean age; 43years) who received cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR) at the emergency center of Wonju Christian hospital during 4 years. Spontaneous circulation was restored in 116 patients(42%). The number of patients survived over 24 hours was twelve(4%). Only 3 patients(1%) discharged alive. There was no significant difference between prehospital and in-hospital cardiac arrest on 24 survival and discharge alive, except restoration of spontaneous circulation(ROSC). Resuscitation rate was no significant difference among ventricular fibrillation, asystole, and pulseless electrical activity on ECG monitering at initiation of CPR. Arrest time was shorter in ROSC group than in no ROSC group. Immediate blood pressure after ROSC and initial arterial pH were higher in patients survived over 24 hours than in patients with transient ROSC.Read More
