STUDYING OF EFFICIENCY OF
RESUSCITATION ACTIONS AT SUDDEN CARDIAC ARREST AT THE PRE-HOSPITAL STAGE
The
emergency medical service is considered as the major stage, from quality and
which efficiency, further happy end of a disease and the prevention of the
subsequent heavy complications depends. For further improvement of the
emergency cardiological help at a pre-hospital stage research on studying of
the carried-out resuscitation grants by the patient of a cardiological profile
was conducted.
The
analysis of 87 reanimations which have been carried out by specialized crews of
station of an emergency medical service of the city of Astana from 2005 to 2011
is carried out. Among the reanimated sick men was 61 (70,1%), women - 24
(27,6%), children - 2 (2,3%).
Distribution
of patients on age: till 14 years - 2 (2,3 %), till 20 years - 1 (1,2 %), 20-40
years - 16 (18,4%), 41-60 years –30 (34,5%), 61-80 years - 32 (36,8 %), 80 years
- 6 (are more senior than 6,9%).
Time of
sending crew for reanimation or fortune menacing to life on the average made 2
minutes, in 93 (92,2%) cases the crew was sent from 1 to 4 minutes after
receipt of a call, only in 9 (7,8%) cases the crew was sent after 4 minutes.
Average time of arrival to the patient, that is, time from receipt of a call
before arrival into place, made 9,2±3,4 minutes. Average time of carrying out resuscitation
actions - 31,1±8,7 minutes.
The
death came at home at 75 patients (86,2%), on the street and in a public place
- at 8 (9,2 %), in 4 cases the death came in the SMP car (4,6%).
In 73
(83,9%) cases the resuscitation crew at once was sent to a call, in 14 (16,1%)
cases - linear crew.
The
death before arrival of crew is recorded in 54 (62,1%) cases, in the presence
of crew – in 33 (37,9%) cases.
Before station
of an emergency medical service arrival only 10 (11,5%) sick surrounding people
carried out reanimation. In spite of the fact that resuscitation actions were
continued then by the resuscitation crew, any patient didn't manage to be
recovered.
Resuscitation
events are held at the following conditions:
-
diseases of cardiovascular system - 38 (43,7%),
-
multiple and combined trauma as a result of road accident - 4 (4,6%),
- knife
wounds - 3 (3,4%),
-
electric trauma - 1 (1,1%),
-
poisonings with an oxide of carbon and burns at a fire - 4 (4,6%),
-
alcoholic poisonings and its substitutes or unknown poison - 4 (4,6%),
-
mechanical asphyxia through hanging - 4 (4,6%),
- other
diseases or cause of death it isn't established - 27 (31,0 %).
Diseases
of cardiovascular system (43,7%) were the main reason for death.
Types of
the cardiac arrest which has come in the presence of crew of station of an
emergency medical service:
-
fibrillation of ventricles – at 19 (57, 6%) patients,
-
electromechanical dissociation – at 9 (27,3%),
- asistoliya
– at 5 (15, 1%).
Types of
the cardiac arrest which has come before arrival of station of an emergency
medical service:
-
fibrillation of ventricles – at 12 patients (22,2%),
- electromechanical dissociation –
at 9 (16,7%),
- asistoliya – at 33 (61,1%).
Resuscitation
events were held according to the standard. Are brought out of a condition of
clinical death 12 (13,8 %) patients, from them at 9 (10,3%) the person the
death came in the presence of crew of medical care, at 3 (3,4%) – before crew
arrival. Successful reanimations in 10 cases were at a blood circulation stop
as a result of fibrillation of ventricles, in 2 cases – as a result of an
asistoliya.
On the
basis of the analysis of clinical records, the further destiny of the
reanimated patients is found out.
From 12
hospitalized patients 6 were written out from a hospital: 3 patients after
successful reanimation at sudden warm death, 1 patient after mechanical
asphyxia, 1 – after heart wound, 1 – after a heavy trauma. 6 patients died in
the first days after receipt in a hospital.
At all
patients who have been written out from a hospital, restoration blood
circulation was reached within the first minutes after the beginning of
resuscitation actions.
Thus,
major importance for an outcome of resuscitation actions at a pre-hospital
stage at sudden cardiac arrest has a time factor and a type of a stop of blood
circulation.
