Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Survival to hospital discharge | Upon hospital discharge and annually up to 5 years | Patients will be followed for the duration of hospital stay. The average time from admission to either discharge or death is expected to be approximately 2 weeks. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Emergency Medical Services Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) quality | Prehospital resuscitation | Chest compression depth, rate, recoil, fraction. Patients will be followed for the duration of prehospital resuscitation. The average timeframe is expected to be approximately 15 minutes. |
Other
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Proportion of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients transported to a recognized Cardiac Receiving Center | Emergency Medical Services (EMS) patient encounter | The average patient encounter timeframe is expected to be approximately 15 minutes. |
| Frequency and Quality of Telephone Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) | During 9-1-1 call | The average 9-1-1 call is expected to be approximately 8 minutes. |
| Post cardiac arrest care process | Hospital admission to hospital discharge/death | Post arrest care measures include therapeutic hypothermia and percutaneous coronary intervention. Patients will be followed for the duration of their hospital stay. The average time from hospital admission to either discharge or death is expected to be approximately 2 weeks. |
| Proportion of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients receiving Guideline post-arrest care | Hospital admission to hospital discharge/death | The average time from hospital admission to either discharge or death is expected to be approximately 2 weeks. |
| Proportion of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients receiving bystander Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) | Time of cardiac arrest to EMS arrival | Type of bystander Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) given, if any. The average length of time between cardiac arrest and EMS arrival is expected to be approximately 10 minutes. |
