Description
Summary:Establishment of coronary care units (CCU) cause decreasing in    hospital’s mortality after cardiac arrest, because life threatening arrhythmias    could be reversible by effective measures. The aim of this study was    ascertainment of  short term(in hospital) prognosis of patients who admitted    in Hamadan’s Ekbatan Hospital’s CCU and experienced cardio pulmonary    resuscitation (CPR) after cardiac arrest.           This study was descriptive, cross-sectional and prospective and included    101 patients who admitted in CCU since 1997 to 1998 and experienced at    least one CPR.           In present study the most common mechanism of cardiac arrest in    successful CPR was ventricular fibrillation and in unsuccessful CPR was    asystol and bradycardia. 20. 8% of patients who experienced cardiac arrest    had successful CPR and discharged from hospital.           20.8% of patients had successful CPR and hospital discharge which in    comparison to the same studies is acceptable and indicate good quality of    aforementioned CCU.
