RESUMO

Introduction: in spite of the advances and worldwide standardization for cardiopulmonary resuscitation recommended by international guidelines, knowledge on the effectiveness of in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is not yet sufficient in Brazil. In this study, we evaluated both demographic and clinical variables in patients underwent cardiopulmonary resuscitation and independent predictors associated to immediate (recovery of spontaneous circulation up to 24 h), until hospital discharge, six and twelve months survival rates. Methods: This cross-sectional study included, prospectively, 763 patients who presented in-hospital cardiac arrest between November 1st 2007 and 01 November 1st 2010, from 17 general hospitals and specialty institutes. CPR procedures were performed in 575 patients. RESULTS: The cardiac arrest modality most frequently found was asystole (40.7%), followed by pulseless electrical activity (39,3%). Immediate survival was 48,8%, survival until hospital discharge was 13%, 4.3% in six months and 3.8% in twelve months. Independent predictors associated with higher immediate survival were: ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia without pulse as the initial rhythm of cardiac arrest (Rate Ratio- RR 1.31; IC 95% 1.10 to 1.55; p = 0.002); presence of victim consciousness signs when arrival of the emergency staff (RR 1.37; IC95% 1.16 to 1.61; p <0.001); use of epinephrine during CPR (RR 1.61; IC 95% 1.32 to 1.98; p <0.001); hypoglycemia as cause of cardiac arrest (RR 1.68; IC 95% 1.11 to 2.55; p = 0.014). Independent predictors associated with lower immediate survival were: hypotension as cause of cardiac arrest (RR 0.74; IC 95% 0.61 to 0.90; p = 0.003); sedentary lifestyle prior to cardiac arrest (RR 0.76; IC 95% 0.66 to 0.88; p <0.001) and duration of the cardiopulmonary resuscitation: the longer the duration, the lower the survival. Independent predictors associated with hospital discharge survival were: presence of doctors and nurses with ACLS and/or BLS previous training, in the emergency team (HR 3.07; IC 95% 1.39 to 6.78; p = 0.006) and sinus rhythm after recovery of spontaneous circulation (HR 1.44; IC 95% 1.26 to 1.75; p = 0.002). Independent predictors of higher six-month survival rate were use of epinephrine (HR 4.09; IC 95% 1.14 to 14.69; p = 0.030), sinus rhythm after return of spontaneous circulation (HR 4.09; IC 95% 1.14 to 14.69; p = 0.030) and previous myocardial infarction (HR 4.08; IC 95% 1.51 to 11.06; p = 0.006). Independent predictors of 12-month survival were not identified. Conclusion: As independent predictors for immediate survival we identified: ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia without pulse as the initial rhythm, presence of signs of awareness of the victim, use of epinephrine during RCP, hypoglycemia as cause of PCR. As independent predictors associated survival until discharged the presence of doctors and nurses trained in ACLS and BLS and the sinus rhythm after recovery of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). These findings suggest a multicentre and national resuscitation profile, providing relevant information, potentially representative of the in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation in Brazil.
