Lower survival to discharge in integrated units than CCU reports; challenges consensus estimates and leaves open optimal care setting effects.
What are the short- and long-term survival outcomes following cardiopulmonary resuscitation for cardiac arrest complicating acute myocardial infarction in an integrated acute medical admission unit?
Survival after cardiac arrest in an integrated acute medical admission unit was lower than typically reported from dedicated CCUs, with only 9% surviving to discharge.
Fabricius-Bjerre et al. (1974) studied this question.
