Utstein recommendations on CPR data reporting are summarized by Jacobs and coworkers [30]. aNine patients were excluded (9/60 [15%]) from the study because of successful resuscitation after the first series of shocks (200, 200, 360 J). bEighty-two patients were excluded: 15/113 patients (13%) were excluded from the study because of successful resuscitation after the first series of shocks (200, 200, 360 J); an additional 29/113 patients (26%) were excluded after pulse was restored during administration of the three initial doses of adrenaline (up to 3 mg); and a further 38 patients were excluded because vasopressin was not available during CPR. cEleven patients were excluded: 5/38 (13%) patients with pulse after the first series of shocks (200, 200, 360 J) and 6/38 (16%) patients receiving vasopressin after adrenaline was administered. CPR, cardiopulmonary resuscitation; PEA, pulseless electrical activity; ROSC, restoration of spontaneous circulation; VF, ventricular fibrillation; VT, ventricular tachycardia. |
