Association between neurological outcomes and prehospital time in patients with out-of-hospital cardiopulmonary arrest.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains an important health care issue. Considering the importance of such a time course after cardiac arrest, detailed evaluation of the prehospital time (i.e., time from EMS contact to a patient to hospital arrival) is essential to improve the mortality and neurologic outcome of OHCA. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the impact of prehospital time on neurological outcomes in patients with OHCA.

Methods

This retrospective observational study included adult non-traumatic OHCA patients who were transported to 2 emergency centers in Tokyo from January 2015 to December 2020. The following data were obtained retrospectively from medical records.

Results

Of the 3120 OHCA patients who were transported during the study pe
