To the Editor:
In-hospital CRA is certainly a serious problem as
between 0.4 and 2.0% of the patients admitted will
require cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The different
services available in a medical facility, the myriad of
clinical settings of the patients, their morbidity and
the necessary treatments will all contribute to turn
this situation into a real challenge for the team of
professionals who have to cope with it.
In-hospital CRAs are more likely to happen than
out-of-hospital CRAs and are associated with a worse
prognosis and lower survival rate despite the fact
that the hospital environment should be the best setting for survival from such an adverse event. Roughly one to five adults per 1000 admissions suffer from
in-hospital CRA and in the case of children the figure is 0.005 per bed on a yearly basis.
