摘要
The purpose of this investigation was to determine factors associated with survival from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, including effects of 911 Emergency Medical Services telephone access and the age of patient. Subjects included 1,753 prehospital cardiac arrest patients in Iowa. Patient survival status and other variables were compared for patients with access to a 911 service with those who did not, and for different age categories, using univariate associations and multivariate logistic regression analysis. The presence of 911 telephone access was significantly associated with survival from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (9.18% versus 5.35% survival for 911 versus no 911 groups, respectively). This association was partially the result of the significant association of 911 with decreased time from collapse to call for help, decreased time to cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and decreased time to first shock (if in ventricular fibrillation [VF]). Younger age was significantly associated with survival in univariate analyses (8.94% versus 6.26% survival for younger versus older age groups, respectively), but this was not an independent association, which is indicated by the lack of significance of age in the multivariate model. © 1993.
