Review Meta Analysis
Pre-arrest predictors of failure to survive after in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation: a meta-analysis.
Our objective was to perform a systematic review of pre-arrest predictors of the outcome of in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in adults. ⋯ We identified several pre-arrest variables associated with failure to survive to discharge. This information should be shared with patients as part of a shared decision-making process regarding the use of do not resuscitate orders.
