The outcomes of patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit following cardiac arrest at a tertiary hospital in Saudi Arabia.
Cardiopulmonary arrests may occur unexpectedly and result in high mortality rates. Saudi Arabia currently relies on data on resuscitation outcomes and factors affecting the outcome which overwhelmingly come from the United States and Western Europe. ⋯ The prognosis of cardiac arrests victims remains poor. We reviewed recent changes to resuscitation protocols which, when implemented, may improve outcome of cardiac arrest patients. To improve this situation initiatives such as the creation of "medical emergency team" to provide early response to at-risk patients might potentially change the fate of some individuals.
