Termination of Resuscitation Rules for In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

There are no validated decision rules for terminating resuscitation during in-hospital cardiac arrest. Decision rules may guide termination and prevent inappropriate early termination of resuscitation.

Objective

To develop and validate termination of resuscitation rules for in-hospital cardiac arrest.

Design, setting, and participants

In this prognostic study, potential decision rules were developed using a national in-hospital cardiac arrest registry from Denmark (data from 2017 to 2022) and validated using registries from Sweden (data from 2007 to 2021) and Norway (data from 2021 to 2022). Six variables (age, initial rhythm, witnessed status, monitored status, intensive care unit location, and resuscitation duration) were considered based on their bedside
