The Success Rate of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation in Patients Experiencing In-hospital Cardiac Arrest

The Success Rate of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation in Patients Experiencing In-hospital Cardiac Arrest at Sanglah General Hospital

Cardiac arrest causes the heart to stop functioning to maintain circulation that provides oxygen to the brain. The global incidence of cardiac arrest is 50 to 60 per 100,000 people per year. The incidence of cardiac arrest in Indonesia in 2016 was 350,000 cases, in which 12% were successfully resuscitated, compared to the global success rate of 24.8%.

Cardiac arrest events urgently require CPR action that is useful to save lives in an emergency. The application of Code Blue aims to reduce the mortality rate and increase the rate of return of spontaneous circulation. The Code Blue team itself includes a set of teams who are trained in the handling of cardiorespiratory arrest.
