Abstract
Background: Cardiac arrest in neurologic-neurosurgical
patients was different from general patients. Few studies
addressed in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)
outcomes and factors associated with the outcome of CPR
in neurologic-neurosurgical patients. This study evaluated
the outcomes of in-hospital CPR and factors associated
with the outcomes of CPR in neurologic-neurosurgical
patients in the tertiary neurological center, Thailand.
Methods: This study is a retrospective cohort study, collecting
the data of all patients with the primary neurological
diagnosis who experienced cardiac arrest and received
CPR from October 2005 to September 2018. We performed
descriptive and logistic regression analysis to identify the
factors affecting CPR. We used the adjusted odds ratios
(AOR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) to report
the factors associated with the return of spontaneous
circulation (ROSC) and survival to hospital discharge.
Results: There were 184 CPR reports. Ninety-three
(50.5%) were male. The mean age was 61+18 (13-98)
years. Ninety cardiac arrests (48.9%) occurred in the
monitored area. The most common neurological diagnosis
was stroke (41.3%). The most common cause of cardiac
arrest was sepsis (30.4%). The initial EKG rhythm was
asystole (59.8 %). We found ROSC in 98 patients (53.2%).
Twenty-one patients (11.4%) discharged from the hospital
with the modified Rankin Scale (MRS) mean 3 + 1 (1-5).
Factors associated with survival to discharge was
non-asystole rhythms (AOR = 1.2; 95% CI 1.07-1.4; P =
0.003).
Conclusion: The rate of survival to hospital discharge of
neurologic-neurosurgical patients was 11.4%. The modified
Rankin Scale (MRS) mean of patients who survived was
a moderate disability. Non-asystole rhythms were the only
factor associated with survival to hospital discharge.
