Conditions

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

Brief summary

High-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is essential for return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in patients with cardiac arrest. However, some factors are known to be related with delays in chest compressions such as bed transfer, setting of CPR device, pulse and rhythm checks. This study aims to evaluate the potential impact of ultrasound on CPR quality by using retrospective video analysis. All CPR scenarios in our department were recorded and masked for the purpose of video analysis. The investigators will record in-scene resuscitation manpower, the factors to interrupt chest compressions and whether introducing ultrasound into resuscitation process is related with delays in chest compressions. In addition, the investigators collect the patient's sex, age, initial rhythm and prognosis, including ROSC, survival to admission and survival to discharge.
