Resuscitation in the hospital: relationship of year and rhythm to outcome

David C. Parish, +5 more
- 01 Dec 2000 - 
TL;DR: The frequency of initial rhythms in in-hospital resuscitation and its relationship to survival are determined and VF is considered the dominant rhythm and generally accounts for the most survivors.

Mary Pat Larsen, +3 more
- 01 Nov 1993 - 
TL;DR: A graphic model that describes survival from sudden out-of-hospital cardiac arrest as a function of time intervals to critical prehospital interventions is developed and is useful in planning community EMS programs, comparing EMS systems, and showing how different arrival times within a system affect survival rate.
