Evaluation of telephone-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation recommendations for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

ABSTRACT:

Aim of the study

While out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is associated with poor survival, early bystander CPR (B-CPR) and telephone CPR (T-CPR) improves survival from OHCA. American Heart Association (AHA) Scientific Statements outline recommendations for T-CPR. We assessed these recommendations and hypothesized that meeting performance standards is associated with increased likelihood of survival. Additional variables were analyzed to identify future performance measurements.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective cohort study of non-traumatic, adult, OHCA using the Singapore Pan-Asian Resuscitation Outcomes Study. The primary outcome was likelihood of survival; secondary outcomes were pre-hospital Return of Spontaneous Circulation (ROSC) and B-CPR.
