Abstract

Cardiac arrest is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is impacting both the epidemiology and outcome of cardiac arrests, further reducing survival after cardiac arrest. Resuscitation of patients with COVID-19 has become a complex problem due to several issues, including the need for personal protective equipment, prevention of viral transmission, ventilator management challenges, and difficulties in performing effective and high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

In this review, we aimed to assess the evidence on the impact of COVID-19 on out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and in-hospital cardiac arrest during the pandemic.

COVID-19 Pandemisinde Resüsitasyon

Abstract

Kardiyak arrest dünya çapında en önemli ölüm nedenlerinden biridir. Koronavirüs hastalığı 2019 (COVID-19) pandemisi, kardiyak arrestlerin hem epidemiyolojisini hem de sonucunu etkileyerek, kardiyak arrest sonrası sağkalımı daha da azaltmaktadır. COVID-19'lu hastaların resüsitasyonu, kişisel koruyucu ekipman ihtiyacı, viral bulaşmayı önleme, ventilatör yönetimi zorlukları ve etkin ve kaliteli kardiyopulmoner resüsitasyon gerçekleştirmedeki zorluklar gibi bazı konular nedeniyle karmaşık bir sorun haline gelmiştir.

Bu derlemede pandemi döneminde, COVID-19'un hastane dışı kardiyak arrest ve hastane içi kardiyak arrest üzerindeki etkisine ilişkin kanıtları değerlendirmeyi amaçladık.
