Predictors of return of spontaneous circulation following in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (IH-CA) remains a condition with considerable morbidity and mortality. Various factors and patient characteristics determine the eventual development of Return of Spontaneous Circulation (ROSC), following cardiopulmonary resuscitation, survival and neurological outcome. Th aim of the study is to determine the predictors of return of return of spontaneous circulation following in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation (IH-CPR). Understanding the characteristics of patients who experience cardiac arrest while hospitalised is crucial for improving outcomes. By elucidating the association between pre-existing co-morbidities, demographic factors, hospital-related variables, and post-arrest outcomes, a more holistic understanding of in-patient cardiac arrest management can be facilitated. The study will be conducted on 263 patients above 18 years of age, of either gender who, after cardiac arrest will be attended by the hospital Code Blue team and shall receive cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) as per advanced cardiac arrest management protocols. Data will be collected and categorised according to pre-, intra- and post-arrest variables and statistically analysed.
