Skogvoll, Eirik; Skrifvars, Markus B.
- Abstract
The authors should be commended for providing, in our view, quite reassuring data about between-hospital variation in IHCA outcomes in hospitals in a Scandinavian country. Keywords: cardiac arrest; cardiopulmonary resuscitation; hospital EN cardiac arrest cardiopulmonary resuscitation hospital 430 431 2 03/22/22 20220401 NES 220401 Cardiac arrest has been named the most dramatic disease in medicine.1 While this statement may be seen as somewhat biased, as it comes from a well-known expert and researcher in the field, cardiac arrest management and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) are undoubtedly multifaceted and challenging problems for both staff and hospital management.2,3 The care costs are high, many patients do not survive in the long term, and many are in a poor functional state, increasing health care costs even more.4 Provocatively, one hypothesises that if hospitals differ in their in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) outcome, the quality of CPR is to blame. Hospital-level variation in outcomes after in-hospital cardiac arrest in Denmark.
