O objetivo dessa pesquisa foi avaliar a incidência, causas e desfechos das PCs que ocorreram no perioperatório nos pacientes com trauma em hospital terciário de ensino de janeiro de 1996 a dezembro de 2009. Após aprovação do Comitê de Ética e Pesquisa da Faculdade de Medicina de Botucatu, UNESP, iniciou-se a pesquisa sobre a incidência de PC durante a anestesia em pacientes com ou sem trauma, prospectivamente identificada a partir de um banco de dados. Houve 90.909 anestesias durante o período estudado. Os dados coletados incluíram características demográficas dos pacientes, procedimento cirúrgico (eletivo, urgência ou emergência), classificação do estado físico segundo a ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists), informações sobre o procedimento anestésico, o tipo de cirurgia, a clínica cirúrgica e o desfecho. Todas as PCs no trauma foram revisadas e agrupadas segundo o fator causal em quatro categorias: totalmente relacionadas à anestesia, parcialmente relacionadas à anestesia, totalmente relacionadas à cirurgia e totalmente relacionadas à doença e/ou condição do paciente.

No studies of perioperative cardiac arrest and mortality in trauma patients have been published. This survey evaluated the incidence, causes, and outcomes of perioperative cardiac arrests in trauma patients in a Brazilian tertiary general teaching hospital between 1996 and 2009. After institutional review board approval (UNESP, School of Medicine, Botucatu, Brazil), the incidence of cardiac arrest during anesthesia in patients with and without trauma was prospectively identified from an anesthesia database. There were 90,909 anesthetics during the study period. The data collected included patient demographics, surgical procedures (elective, urgent or emergency), ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists) physical status classification, anesthesia provider information, type of surgery, surgical areas, and outcome. All of the cardiac arrests in trauma patients were reviewed and grouped by cause of cardiac arrest into one of four groups: totally anesthesia-related, partially anesthesia-related, totally surgery-related and totally trauma patient condition-related. Fifty–eight cardiac arrests (6.4 per 10,000 anesthetics) and 47 deaths (5.2 per 10,000) had occurred in the trauma patients. The major risk factors for cardiac arrest in the trauma patients were age (18 to 35 yr, p=0.04), male sex (p<0.0001) with ASA physical status III or poorer (p=0.04), emergency surgery (p=0.04) in multiclinical or thoracic surgery and monitored anesthesia care in very injured patients (p=0.04). Uncontrolled hemorrhage and head injury were the most significant causes of cardiac arrest and mortality. The majority of the intraoperative cardiac arrests and deaths in the trauma were patients condition-related.

Resumo: A situação encontrada na prática dos atendimentos da parada cardiorrespiratória é a de que os registros não são feitos adequadamente, ou são incompletos, relatando apenas o horário da PCR e o óbito, quando deveriam conter maior número de informações, como fármacos utilizados durante o atendimento, os ritmos cardíacos, o número de choques realizados, entre outros. Se forem analisados os prontuários médicos de pacientes hospitalizados que apresentaram parada cardiorrespiratória, possivelmente haverá dificuldades na realização de estudos retrospectivos de ressuscitação cardiorrespiratória, pela impossibilidade de coletar dados que poderiam colaborar no aprimoramento e na avaliação da atuação da equipe, como também, de estudos de sobrevida e prognóstico em ressuscitação cardiorrespiratória diante da escassez de dados que são registrados.O presente estudo teve por objetivo validar e aplicar um instrumento para o registro do atendimento da PCR/RCR no ambiente intra-hospitalar de uma instituição de ensino. A validação de um instrumento é etapa de fundamental importância antes da sua utilização pois verifica a qualidade dos dados. Sua aplicação em uma determinada população também permite perceber como se comporta o instrumento no ambiente em que se pretende implementá-lo, para isso, o instrumento adapatado foi submetido a validação de conteúdo e verificada também sua aplicabilidade. O instrumento foi validado por juízes, quanto ao seu conteúdo. Após, os instrumentos foram utilizados pelos enfermeiros das unidades: PS, UTI, EC/CT, Cardiologia e Moléstias Infecciosas para avaliação da aplicabilidade do instrumento. Na análise dos dados da avaliação dos juízes não houve discordância significativa quanto à clareza (p= 0,353), objetividade (p=0,333) e organização (p=0,107) (Teste de Cochran). Foram coletados 54 registros de atendimento da RCR e após o preenchimento os enfermeiros avaliaram o instrumento quanto a sua utilidade, praticidade e objetividade, obtendo-se mais que 90% de respostas positivas. Na análise dos preenchimentos constatou-se que a média de preenchimento dos dados de identificação do paciente foi de 92,7%; da PCR 72,18%; RCR 81,75%; pós-RCR 89,58%; equipe de atendimento 27,41% e anotações apenas 7,41%. Conclui-se que o instrumento adaptado para o registro dos atendimentos da PCR/RCR, no ambiente intra-hospitalar, foi validado e atende às necessidades da realidade desses atendimentos no hospital estudado. Dessa forma a utilização deste instrumento que apresenta menor complexidade poderia estimular a prática de registros do atendimento da PCR / RCR, orientar novos treinamentos, bem como, direcionar investimentos em recursos físicos e materiais adequados para as unidades destinadas ao cuidado de pacientes críticos e contribuir para a melhoria dos atendimentos
Abstract: Usually, during in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), there is a lack of comprehensive records about the whole procedure, or, more often, they are incomplete, reporting only the times of cardiac arrest (CA) and of death. OBJECTIVES: The objectives of the present study were to validate and to apply an instrument that was elaborated to record in-hospital CPR maneuvers in a teaching institution. The validation is the fundamental importance before utilization of an instrument, verifies your quality and the application of an instrument in a determined population also is going to perceive as behaves the instrument in environment that him implemented, for that, the instrument was submitted the validation of content and verified also its aplicability. METHODS: The instrument was previously validated by experts judges regarding its subject matter, and thereafter it was applied by registered nurses at the emergency room, adult intensive care unit, clinical and surgical emergency wards, during cardiac arrest events in order to evaluate its pratical applicability. RESULTS: Data analysis has shown that there was no disagreement among judges regarding the instrument¿s intelligibility (p=0,353), objectivity (p=0,333) and organization (p=0,107). (Cochran¿s test). Fifty- four records of in-hospital CPR have been done, and the nurses were argued to evaluate the instrument¿s utility, praticity and objectivity, within more than 90% of positive answers. Informations concerning patient¿s identification (92,7%), CA characterization (72,18%), CPR maneuvers (81,75%), post-CPR procedures (89,58%), team of attendance (27,41%) and general annotations (7,41%), were possible to be retrieved form the applied instrument. CONCLUSIONS: It was concluded that an adapted instrument for recording in-hospital CPR procedures could be validated and easily applied by nurses in a teaching hospital. The utilization of this instrument would be able to stimulate to practical of records, news training, direct investments and adequate in-hospital CPR maneuvers in the units destined to take care of critical patients and contribute for the improvement during in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation

Full textOut of hospital cardiac arrest (CA) is a major public health issue, despite the implementation of a “chain of survival”. Resuscitation durations are often extended with irreversible organ damage and poor outcome. Frequently, conventional care does not allow the return of spontaneous circulation, leading to a refractory CA, with the need for advanced therapeutic care. The general objective of this work was to evaluate new therapeutic strategies in the management of refractory cardiac arrest. We studied two experimental strategies in swine, involving ultrafast cooling with total liquid ventilation or extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation in a CA of ischemic origin.As a first step, we evaluated the feasibility of ultra-fast therapeutic hypothermia using total liquid ventilation (TLV) in swine. This approach involves perfluorocarbon instillation in the lungs to induce ultra-fast cooling. The lungs are thus used as a heat exchanger, while maintaining normal gas exchanges. In previous studies, the laboratory has shown that TLV could reduce blood temperature to 32°C in less than 10 minutes in rabbits. The objective of this study was to determine if TLV could lead to ultra-fast cooling in swine. We first studied the cooling capacity of hypothermic TLV in beating heart pigs, and then during ventricular fibrillation with prolonged chest compressions. In physiological conditions, in “beating heart” animals, the target temperature of 34°C was obtained in less than 10 min in the whole body. In prolonged resuscitation of refractory CA, whole body cooling was also rapidly obtained, within less than 25 min. TLV did not alter the hemodynamic effect of cardiac compressions, suggesting further use of this “intra-resuscitation” cooling in order to increase chances of defibrillation or for organ preservation for the purpose of organ donation.As a second step, we addressed the subject of ischemic refractory CA treated by extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR). Our objective was to evaluate the importance of early coronary reperfusion in this situation, i.e., it’s impact on hemodynamic status and chances of defibrillation. After anesthesia and surgical preparation, animals were submitted to a coronaryocclusion followed by 5 min of CA by ventricular fibrillation. Conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation was then initiated and followed by extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation.We compared the effect of early versus late reperfusion, i.e., reperfusion after 20 or 120 min of ECPR. Early reperfusion significantly increased chances of return to spontaneous circulation with limited shock status, increased cerebral perfusion and decreased infarct size. This confirms the need for early treatment of acute coronary syndrome if cardiac cause of CA is suspected, even in the situation of ECPR.In conclusion, we have shown that TLV could provide ultra-fast whole body cooling, both in beating heart swine and during prolonged resuscitation. Secondly, early reperfusion in refractory ischemic CA treated by ECPR globally increases chances of return to spontaneous circulation and improves hemodynamic status

Full textComprehensive databases which collect data on out of hospital cardiac arrests have been useful in identifying markers of outcome in adults, but this data is limited in children. The Arizona Department of Health Services’ Save Hearts in Arizona Registry and Education (SHARE) database contains data on pediatric cardiac arrests in the field and offers a unique opportunity to examine outcome measures and pre-hospital care. We retrospectively analyzed 312 children (1-215 months) from the SHARE database between 2004-2010. Variables assessed included: bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) administration, transport times and impact of Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) availability on outcome to hospital discharge. Data were analyzed by t-test and Fisher’s exact test. Of 312 children with out of hospital cardiac arrest, 11 (3.6%) survived to hospital discharge. The low survival rates in this review make statistical comparisons difficult, though potential trends were noted that, with additional numbers to increase power, may provide insight into factors affecting survival from pediatric OHCA that have not been assessed on a wide scale in this vulnerable population.

Background: Hypocapnia exposure after successful resuscitation from cardiac arrest has been previously demonstrated to be associated with poor clinical outcomes. During mechanical ventilation after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) it is unclear if spontaneous hyperventilation, as opposed high prescribed minute ventilation, is a common cause of hypocapnia. The objectives of this study were to determine the incidence of hypocapnia induced by spontaneous hyperventilation (spontaneous hypocapnia) among patients successfully resuscitated from cardiac arrest and to test if spontaneous hypocapnia is independently associated with 60-day mortality. Methods: Pre-planned analysis of a prospective multi-center cohort. We included adult, cardiac arrest patients who were mechanically ventilated and received targeted temperature management after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). We excluded patients with cardiac arrest due to trauma or sepsis. Per protocol, partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide (PaCO2) was measured at one and six hours after ROSC. Hypocapnia was defined as a PaCO2 < 35 mmHg. We defined spontaneous hypocapnia as hypocapnia plus a measured actual respiratory rate greater than the prescribed respiratory rate and induced hypocapnia as hypocapnia plus an actual respiratory rate not higher than the prescribed respiratory rate during the initial six hours after ROSC. The primary outcome was 60-day mortality. A multivariable Cox proportional hazards model was used to test the associations between spontaneous hypocapnia and 60-day mortality compared to induced hypocapnia and no hypocapnia exposure. Results: Of the 280 patients included, 112 (40%) had exposure to hypocapnia; 89 vs. 23 spontaneous and induced hypocapnia, respectively. Sixty-day mortality occurred among 55% of patients in the entire cohort, and 47%, 57%, and 70% among patients with no, induced, and spontaneous hypocapnia respectively. Spontaneous hypocapnia was independently associated with 60-day mortality, hazards ratios 1.64 (95% CI 1.43-1.87) compared to no hypocapnia exposure and 1.44 (95% CI 1.10-1.88) compared to induced hypocapnia. Conclusion: Spontaneous hypocapnia is common during the initial six hours after return of spontaneous circulation and is independently associated with 60-day mortality.

Full textBackground: Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA), usually clinically described as “sudden death”, is the leading worldwide cause of death. Despite recent improvements in management of OHCA, the prognosis of these patients remains very poor, even in those who benefitted from a successful initial resuscitation. During the period of ischemia following the Return of Spontaneous Circulation (ROSC), several pathophysiological phenomenons occur, characterizing the post cardiac arrest syndrome. Furthermore, different treatments, such as immediate coronary reperfusion or therapeutic hypothermia, are now implemented for the management of this syndrome in order to decrease the morbidities and the mortality involved during this period. However, the influence of these hospital interventions on prognosis is still debatable, since they have been assessed in very selected subgroups of patients.Objectives: The aim of our work was to assess the influence of these early interventions on the outcome of OHCA patients admitted alive in intensive care unit (ICU).Method: We set up an investigation cohort (starting in 2000) of OHCA patients, in whom a successful ROSC had been obtained and who were admitted alive in ICU. We gathered all demographic data, cardiac arrest circumstances, pre-hospital and hospital characteristics. We analyzed the different predictive factors of outcome using multivariate analysis, especially logistical regression.Results: Between 2003 and 2008, 435 patients without obvious extra-cardiac cause were included and benefited from an immediate and systematical coronary angiogram. We observed a recent lesion in nearly half of them. Detecting a cardiac etiology is very challenging even using simple predictive models including patient’s baseline characteristics and circumstances of the cardiac arrest. Moreover, other parameters, such as EKG patterns or cardiac biomarkers, did not seem helpful either. Indeed, these parameters had poor predictive values and consequently could not be considered as triage tools for these patients. Nevertheless, the immediate and systematical coronary angiogram, with percutaneous intervention if appropriate, was independently associated with an improvement of hospital survival (adjusted OR= 2.06 (1.16-3.66)), regardless of the EKG pattern.Between 2000 and 2009, 1145 patients were admitted and two third of them were treated with therapeutic hypothermia. Among them, 708/1145 (62%) had an initial shockable rhythm and 437/1145 (38%) presented a non shockable rhythm. On the one hand, after adjustment with other predictive factors, the therapeutic hypothermia significantly improved the good neurological outcome at ICU discharge (adjusted OR= 1.90 (1.18-3.06)). On the other hand, the influence of this intervention was not associated with prognosis on the “non-shockable” sub-group (adjusted OR=0.71 (0.37-1.36)). Among the undercurrent factors, which could minimize the benefit of this intervention, infectious complications in treated patients were common. The most frequent complication was early onset pneumonia, whose occurrence was significantly associated with hypothermia (adjusted OR= 1.90 (1.28-2.80)), even if its role on prognosis was not determined.Conclusions: Our findings support the international guidelines regarding the management of post-cardiac arrest, identifying the subgroups of patients who may benefit the most. These results encourage further prospective studies and randomized trials and bring helpful information in that way. Finally, ancillary analysis on an investigation cohort of hospital survivors suggests that protective

Full textOutcome of cardiac arrest (CA) remains dramatic. To quickly diagnose the cause of CA and establish a reliable outcome prediction (prognostication) as early as possible could help to guide initial treatments. It could avoid futile treatments in patients with low chance of survival or of good neurological recovery, or conversely allow treatment optimization in patients expected to have a high likelihood of good neurological outcome. Usefulness of biomarkers to guide clinicians in finding the CA diagnosis and helping prognostication is debated. Biomarkers are considered as not sensitive and accurate enough, especially within the first hours after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). Their use is only recommended in prognostication for Neuron Specific Enolase (NSE) as a second line tool and after the third day from CA. Our first study confirmed that biomarkers “specific” of brain injury (S100B protein: S100 and moreover NSE) cannot sufficiently discriminate the neurological cause of CA on ICU admission. If early coronary angiogram is the standard for diagnosing a probable cardiac cause of CA, biomarkers cannot replace brain computed-tomography (CT) in CA from a neurological cause. The second study evaluated, during the 1st day after ROSC, the link between biomarkers (S100 and NSE) and 2 surrogates of brain oedema recently proposed as outcome predictors: echography of the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD), and grey to white matter attenuation ratio (GWR) on brain CT-scan. Even though we cannot conclude on a definitive relationship between these parameters, ONSD enlargement at day 1 was associated with specific brain damage after CA, such as brain oedema and mostly axonal injuries, as reflected by increases in NSE (on admission and at day 1) and low GWR measurements. Whereas NSE, GWR and ONSD at day 1 were correlated, S100, which is more specific of glial injuries, did not reach significance. NSE and S100 on admission, at days 1 and 2 after ROSC, as well as ONSD at day 1, were associated with survival at hospital discharge. The third study evaluated the prognostic value of several biomarkers in the early phase after CA (NSE and S100 being sampled at median 220 min after ROSC). S100, blinded to physicians, was the biomarker with the best accuracy after ICU admission to correctly predict unfavourable outcome at hospital discharge and at 3 months after CA, compared with all other biomarkers such as lactate, pH, creatinine, and especially NSE. S100 variations during the first day after admission refined prognostication. Initial S100 was an early independent predictive factor associated with unfavourable outcome at hospital discharge, with the no-flow duration, initial lactate value, initial non-shockable rhythm, and the presence of clinical seizure. According to guidelines, prognostication theoretically needs to be delayed and multimodal, biomarkers alone not being recommended especially in the early phase after CA. Biomarkers cannot seem to be an alternative option compared to imaging to precisely diagnose the CA cause. By contrast, some biomarkers, such as S100 after admission, could easily and specifically discriminate CA patients with certainty of unfavourable outcome. Associated with other predictive tools (clinical or using imaging), biomarkers could interestingly be incorporated in early decisional algorithms to optimally guide initial therapies. This correct patient classification could help to avoid unuseful treatments versus to maximize aggressive therapies. The choice of recommended servo-controlled targeted temperature management devices, very efficient but invasive and expensive, or the indication -or not- of a cardio-circulatory assist device implementation should be guided in the early stage after ROSC using this simple strategy of patient selection

Resumo: A equipe de enfermagem freqüentemente é quem testemunha a parada cardiorrespiratória (PCR). Portanto, deve possuir conhecimentos suficientes para realizar os primeiros atendimentos. O sucesso da reanimação cardiorrespiratória (RCR) depende do tempo entre a ocorrência e o início do tratamento, da harmonia e sincronismo da equipe e da capacitação dos profissionais. Foram objetivos do estudo: elaborar um programa de capacitação para enfermeiros na RCR, capacitar o enfermeiro para o atendimento da PCR, avaliar o conhecimento dos enfermeiros antes e após sua participação no programa e comparar a atuação dos enfermeiros submetidos ao programa com os do grupo controle. O estudo foi desenvolvido em um hospital universitário e contemplou três etapas: etapa-I, capacitação teóricoprática; etapa-II, avaliação recente do conhecimento teórico-prático; e etapa-III, avaliação tardia. A amostra foi composta por 21 enfermeiros no grupo-A (controle ¿ não participou do programa de capacitação) e 38 no grupo-B (experimental ¿ participou do programa). Os instrumentos teórico e prático foram submetidos à validação de conteúdo e pré-teste. Na avaliação dos juízes não houve discordância significativa quanto à organização (p=0,368), objetividade (p=1,000), exceto quanto à clareza (p=0,042) para o instrumento-I (teórico). Em relação ao instrumento-II (prático), não houve discordância em nenhum dos itens (p=0,05). Na análise de desempenho dos enfermeiros verificou-se que a média das notas da avaliação teórica no grupo-A variou de forma progressiva nas três etapas: 6,45, 6,66 e 7,10; e no grupo-B de forma oscilante: 6,48, 8,36 e 8,0, respectivamente, com diferença estatisticamente significativa entre os grupos nas etapas II e III (p<0,001). Em relação às atividades práticas do suporte básico de vida (SBV) e suporte avançado (SAV), no grupo-A as médias de notas foram 3,90 e 3,49 na etapa-II e 4,32 e 3,72 na etapa-III, respectivamente, enquanto no grupo-B obtiveram as médias de notas 6,92 e 5,66 na etapa-II e 7,08 e 4,99 na etapa-III, espectivamente. As diferenças entre os grupos nas duas etapas das duas atividades foram significativas (p<0,001). Conclui-se que os conteúdos abordados e os instrumentos utilizados subsidiaram de forma favorável a execução e avaliação do programa de capacitação elaborado e implementado para os enfermeiros no atendimento da PCR. Observou-se melhora no desempenho tanto nas atividades teóricas quanto nas práticas. O grupo-B foi superior em ambos os desempenhos em relação ao grupo-A. No entanto, o desempenho na atividade teórica do grupo-B após uma semana foi superior ao de três meses; já na atividade prática do SBV, o desempenho na etapa-III foi superior à etapa-II, enquanto no SAV o desempenho da etapa-III foi inferior ao da etapa-II. O comportamento do desempenho dos sujeitos do grupo-A diferiu tanto nas atividades teórica como na prática em relação ao grupo-B. Na avaliação teórica observou-se uma melhora progressiva nas três etapas, assim como nas duas etapas das atividades práticas de SBV e SAV. Diante destes resultados, acreditase que o programa de capacitação elaborado poderá ser amplamente utilizado na instituição estudada e também adaptado para utilização em outras
Abstract: Nursing team members are frequently cardiac arrest witness, and therefore must acquire knowledge to perform basic (BLS) and advanced cardiac life support (ACLS). Successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) depends on the treatment starting time, team¿s harmony/synchrony and involved professionals¿ capability. The study¿s main objectives were: to elaborate a nursing capacitation program in CPR; to train nurses in performing CPR; to evaluate nurses¿ CPR-knowledge before and after their participation in the program; and to analyse, comparatively, the CPR-performance of nurses that took part or not in the program. The study was developed in an university-hospital and faced three stages: stage-I, theorical-practical capacitation; stage-II, recent evaluation of theorical-practical knowledge; and stage-III, delayed evaluation of theorical-practical knowledge. The time interval between stages I and II was one week and between II and III, three months. Nurses were divided into two groups [A ¿ control (n=21), did not participate; and B ¿ experimental (n=38), did participate on the capacitation program]. Theorical and practical instruments were submitted to content validation and to a pre-test. There were no disagreements amongst judges concerning organization (p=0,368) and objectivity (p=1,000), except for clearness (p=0,042) of the instrument-I (theorical). In relation to instrument-II (practical), there were no disagreement in any items (p=0,05). On the analysis of nurses¿ performance, it was verified that group-A average punctuation in theorical evaluation varied in a progressive way on the three stages (6.45, 6.66 and 7.10, respectively), and in group-B in a non-steady way (6.48, 8.36 and 8.0, respectively) [group-B better than group-A on stages II and III (p<0,001; Tukey-test)]. In relation to practical activities on BLS and ACLS in group-A, the average punctuations were 3.90 and 3.49 on stage-II, and 4.32 and 3.72 on stage-III, respectively, while group-B has got average punctuations of 6.92 and 5.66 on stage-II, and 7.08 and 4.99 on stage-III, respectively [group-B better than group-A on the two stages of two activities (p<0,001; Tukey-test)]. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the approached contents and the used instruments helped in a most favorable way the execution and evaluation of the capacitation program elaborated and implemented to improve nurses¿ CPR-performance. It was observed an improvement not only on theorical activities but also in practical ones. Group-B has shown superior performances than group-A. However, it could be verified that theorical activity performance of group-B, within a week (stage-II), was superior in relation to stage-III (after three months); on the BLS practical activity, subjects¿ performance on stage-III was superior to stage-II, while on the SAV, performance of stage-III was inferior to stage-II. Group-A performance behavior differed not only on theorical activity but also on practical one in relation to group-B. On the theorical evaluation, it was observed a progressive improvement in all three stages, and also on both stages of BLS and ACLS practical activities. Facing these results, it is believed that this elaborated capacitation program can be largely utilized in our own institution and possibly could be adapted and extended to other ones

Full textA cardiorespiratory arrest (CRA) in pre-hospital care is the third cause of death in the United States of America (USA) and the ischemic cardiac diseases are considered the main sudden death causes in Europe. In the western world, including Brazil, the acute myocardial infarction is responsible for a big part of these deaths. Evaluating the quality of the assistance provided to people who suffered CRA in pre-hospital care, can have an influence in these patients\' survivals. The purpose of this study was to analyze the data in the nursing assistance systematization records (NASR) of the emergency medical services (SAMU) in Ribeirão Preto regarding those people who suffered CRA in pre-hospital care. This is a retrospective analytical study of documentary analysis of the NASR from January 2011 to December 2013 in which caring for people over 18 years old and CRA of clinical origin were included. A statistical analysis was performed on the SPSS 17.0 summer version show where the chi-square and Fisher\'s exact test were applied. Values with p<0,005 were considered significant. Among the records of people who suffered CRA, 439 (100%) were analyzed, being 54,2% males with an average of 64 years old. Most people who suffered CRA were over 61 years old. Heart diseases were the most prevalent comorbidities. The initial rhythm was the asystole in 28% of the cases and the adrenalin in 31% being the most administered medicine. The medical cares performed by SAMU were categorized in: residence 47,8%, health units 43,5% being 33,5% morning period, the greater commitment of ambulances. People suffered more CRA on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays whereas females suffered most CRA on Sundays and males on Fridays and winter 26%, was the season of the year that most of those cases happened. To check the variation between the categorical variables such as gender, age range, commitment of ambulance, days of the week with the place where the CRA happened the chi-square and Fisher\'s exact test were applied in which there was not a significant statistic difference (p>0.005). Regardless the gender, being over 61 years old was related to the CRA event, (p = 0,002) comparing to other age ranges. Among categorical variables gender, age range, commitment of ambulance, days of the week, weekends and week related to denouement (death and survival) of the CRA event, there was not a significant statistic difference (p>0,005). Place where it happened comparing to the denouement there was a statistic difference (p=0,001) people who suffered CRA in the health units, 160(76,9%) survived comparing to residences\' survivals 34(16,3%). In conclusion, an investment in the education system by putting into execution resuscitation science and practical abilities trainings regarding CRA -not only to health professionals but also to people who are untrained - is recommended
