Long-term outcomes and predictors of survival after cardiopulmonary resuscitation for in-hospital cardiac arrest in a tertiary care hospital in Thailand

Abstract

Only 7.9% of patients with IHCA were alive 1 year following cardiac arrest. Prearrest serum HCO₃<20 meq/L, asystole, urine <800 cc/d, postarrest coma, and absence of pupillary reflex were the independent factors that predicted long-term mortality.
