In-hospital cardiac arrest: Impact of monitoring and witnessed event on patient survival and neurologic status at hospital discharge
Resuscitation, 04/05/2011
Brady WJ et al. – Patients who are witnessed and/or monitored at the time of cardiac arrest demonstrate a significantly higher rate of survival to hospital discharge compared to those patients who are neither monitored nor witnessed. Monitored and/or witnessed cardiac arrest patients were also more likely to be discharged with favorable neurologic outcome.
