28. • Cardiac Arrest usually is a predictable event
NOT caused by primary Cardiac Disease.
• CA follows a period of slow and progressive
deterioration (unrecognized or inadequately
treated Hypoxemia and Hypotension).
• Rhythm is usually Asystole or PEA
• Chance of survival is extremely poor.

43. • Pts deterioration is displayed with Common signs
(LUNGS, HEART or BRAIN systems)
Recognition of ‘at-risk’ or critically ill pts
• Physiological parameters are monitoring and
measured less frequently than desirable.
• Monitoring HR, BP, RR may predict CP arrest.

44. • Significant effects on pt outcome.
• Pts discharged from ICU to GENERAL WARDS during
the night have an increased risk of in-hospital death
compared to those discharged during the day and
those discharged to HIGH-DEPENDENCY UNITS.
• Higher NURSE-Pt Staffing RATIOS are also
associated with a reduction in CA rates, as well as rates
of PNEUMONIA, SHOCK and DEATH.

Deficiencies in Acute CareDeficiencies in Acute Care
• MD and Nursing staff with poor acute-care
knowledge and skills, with lack of confidence
when dealing with problems.
• Incorrect use of O2 therapy and failure to
monitor pts

46. CPR Quality during CA
• Chest compressions were not delivered
adequately and compressions were too shallow
• Quality of multiple CPR parameters was
inconsistent and often did not meet published
guidelines.

• Inadequate means (ie defibrillator)
• Presence of architectural barriers
• Presence of institutional barriers
• AED often available in specific divisions
• AED often useless for technical reason
(lack of experiences)
• Missing of dedicated ‘Emergency Team’
• Lengthy delay in CPR
