OBJECTIVE To identify a series of variables which predict death after in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). DESIGN Retrospective observational study. SETTING A nonteaching community hospital with 24-hr on-site critical care specialists. PATIENTS Consecutive adults undergoing CPR between August 1989 and July 1991. INTERVENTION None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Two hundred forty-two patients suffered a total of 289 cardiopulmonary arrests. Forty patients (16.5%) survived to…

APACHE II scores as predictors of cardio pulmonary resuscitation outcome: Evidence from a tertiary care institute in a low-income country
TLDR
It is demonstrated that APACHE II scores can be used as a predictor of the cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) outcome in hospitalized patients and should be considered in clinical decisions related to CPR administration.
Evaluating traditional prognostic measures in patients undergoing hypothermia after cardiac arrest.
TLDR
Lactate levels show promise as a biomarker for survival in HACA patients resuscitation length, presence of PCI, and APACHE-II scores can provide good prognostic information, even in the early hours following a resuscitation event.
Validation of a clinical decision aid to discontinue in-hospital cardiac arrest resuscitations.
TLDR
This decision aid can be used to help physicians identify patients who are extremely unlikely to benefit from continued resuscitative efforts and which patients were actually discharged alive from the hospital.

TLDR
There is an urgent need to constitute a cardiac arrest team (CAT) which will be available at all times for improved successful outcome after cardiac arrest in the intensive care unit (ICU).
Prognosis of Patients Admitted to ICU after Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation in Emergency Room
TLDR
It is evaluated that the severity scores of patients who receive CPR before ICU admission are important predictors of survival and Glasgow coma scales were significantly higher in survivors.
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation in critically ill neurologic-neurosurgical patients.
TLDR
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation is a worthwhile procedure in severely ill neurologic-neurosurgical patients, regardless of the patient's age, however, the outcome after CPR appears much worse in patients with a prior deteriorating clinical course.
Derivation of a clinical decision rule for the discontinuation of in-hospital cardiac arrest resuscitations.
TLDR
A practical and highly sensitive decision rule has been derived that identifies patients with no chance of surviving in-hospital cardiac arrest and could have been discontinued for 119 patients who did not survive, thereby avoiding 47 days of postresuscitative care.

TLDR
A multivariate analysis revealed that pneumonia, hypotension, renal failure, cancer, and a home-bound life style before hospitalization were significantly associated with in-hospital mortality.
Outcomes of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation in the Elderly
TLDR
Cardiopul pulmonary resuscitation is rarely effective for elderly patients with cardiopulmonary arrests that are either out-of-hospital, unwitnessed, or associated with asystole or electromechanical dissociation.
Predicting outcome of inhospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
TLDR
Factors associated with a successful outcome included occurrence of cardiopulmonary arrest within 24 h of hospitalization, short duration of CPR, and the absence of cardiogenic shock, sepsis, acute renal failure, cancer, and pneumonia.
Outcome after cardiopulmonary resuscitation in a medical intensive care unit.
TLDR
It is demonstrated that CPR can be successful in the MICU and that there are prearrest and arrest parameters which are useful in identifying those patients most likely to benefit from CPR in the critical care setting.
Cardiac arrests in a geriatric unit.
TLDR
Although subjective levels of psychological and physical disability of survivors at 3 months were low, their domestic and social life was often excessively restricted, and there is also a need for further measures to reduce unnecessary disability in long-term survivors.

TLDR
The identification of prearrest variables that are associated with decreased survival following CPR will assist clinicians when they counsel their patients regarding do-not-resuscitate (DNR) orders.
Predictors of survival of in-hospital cardiac arrest.
TLDR
Reassessment of policy regarding the administration of cardiac resuscitation to patients in hospital is warranted following cases of attempted resuscitation following cardiac arrest occurring over a period of one year in a tertiary care teaching hospital.
