China

Retrospective observational study

Medical records

136

Patients who had in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) between January 15 and February 25, 2020 in the west campus of Union Hospital in Wuhan.

A total of 136 patients were resuscitated and documented using the Utstein template. Of these patients, 110 (80.9%) were aged over 60 years and 46 (33.8%) were women. The most frequent comorbidity was hypertension (30.2%), followed by diabetes (19.9%) and coronary heart disease (11.0%). Of 136 patients who were resuscitated, most patients had a respiratory aetiology (119 cases), whereas the remaining had cardiac aetiology (10 cases) and other causes (7 cases). The initial cardiac arrest rhythm was VF or pulseless VT in 8 (5.9%) cases, PEA in 6 (4.4%), and asystole in 122 (89.7%).
