Epidemiology
In a 1990s study from the UK, resuscitation for cardiac arrest was attempted in 10,081 patients. Of these only 1476 (14.6%) survived to be admitted to the hospital [1][2]. Of these small number of patients who survived to admission, 59.3% died during that admission, half of these within the first 24 hours. 46.1% survived to hospital discharge (this is 6.75% of those who had been resuscitated by ambulance staff). Of those who were successfully discharged from hospital, 70% were still alive 4 years after their discharge.
In a review of 68 studies through 1997, the incidence of survival to discharge was higher at 14% with a wide range of 0-28%.[3]
