Abstract:
Objective:To explore an initial target rate for resuscitation attempted by bystanders for patients experiencing out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in China.Methods:We searched seven electronic databases, including CNKI, VIP, Wanfang, CBM, PubMed, Cochrane, EMBase, for Utstein-style reports of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, containing data on bystander resuscitation and survival to discharge or 30 days after arrest. All patients with cardiac arrest diagnosed at prehospital emergency medical services were included. Meta-analysis was performed to pool rate ratios (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) of the rate of survival to discharge or 30 days. The population attributable risk percent (PARP) was calculated with RR, and the growth rate curve of PARP following bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation rate was plotted. We established a multiple linear regression model to show the change in survival to discharge or 30 days with increasing rates of resuscitation attempted by bystanders.Results:We included 24 cohorts with 279 641 patients experiencing out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. The median rates of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation and survival to discharge or 30 days after arrest in seven cohorts from China were 2.8% and 0.47%, respectively, both far below the first tertiles in all cohorts worldwide (10.0% and 2.70%, respectively). The meta-analysis showed that resuscitation attempts by bystanders increased the chance of survival to discharge or 30 days ( RR=5.91, 95% CI 3.28-10.66; I2=0, P=0.990). The growth rate curve on PARP showed a rapid attenuation in the increase of PARP after the bystander resuscitation rate reached 10%. The multiple linear regression showed that resuscitation attempted by bystanders could explain 74.4% of the variation in the rates of survival to discharge or 30 days. By increasing the bystander resuscitation rate to 10%, the rate of survival to discharge or 30 days could increase to 1.40% (95% CI 0.76%-2.05%), and the PARP could increase from 19.7% to 32.9%. Conclusions:Low rate of resuscitation attempted by bystanders is currently the main reason for the poor survival rate of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in China. It is recommended to increase the rate of resuscitation attempted by bystanders in stages with an initial target rate of 10%.
