Group/Cohort |
---|
Cardiac arrest |
- The success rate of current guidelines (depth and frequency of chest compression, epidemiology) [ Time Frame: During the resuscitation ]
- Quality of life after CA [ Time Frame: 6 months ]Quality of life after CA is usually fairly good measurement of quality of resuscitation attempt
- Invasive arterial pressures, cerebral oxygenation (NIRS), EtCO2 [ Time Frame: During the resuscitation ]
- survival of cardiac arrest [ Time Frame: hospital discharge ]
- Change in hemodynamics, Change in cerebral saturation, Change in quality of CPR [ Time Frame: During resuscitation ]
