About this study
Official title: Out-of-Hospital Resuscitation in an Urban Setting in Switzerland - an Outcome Study and Cost Effectiveness Analysis
The investigators will retrospectively examine all patients with out-of-hospital resuscitation by the emergency medical Team (EMT) from the Kantonsspital Winterthur in the year 2013 with a two year follow-up and a structured interview about Quality of life. Furthermore, the costs generated by the local health system are analysed.
Read the detailed description
The Primary objective of this study is to evaluate the Quality of out-of-Hospital resuscitation by the ambulance Service from the Kantonsspital Winterthur including a 2-year follow-up of the survivors. In this follow-up we evaluate the Quality of life by a validated questionnaire.
The following endpoints will be retrospectively analysed:
time-to-Response Interval; Initial cardiac rhythm; medications given; number of Defibrillations; return of spontaneous circulation, Overall costs for the local health System
Furthermore length of hospital-stay, survival until Hospital discharge, one-year survival, Quality of life two years after resuscitation and total costs will be analysed.
