Glossary :
Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS): Emergency medical procedure in which basic life support efforts of CPR are supplemented with drug administration, Iv fluids, etc .
Basic Life Support (BLS): Emergency treatment of a victim of cardiac or respiratory arrest through cardiopulmonary resuscitation and emergency cardiovascular care .
Code Blue: A declaration of or a state of medical emergency and call for medical personnel and equipment to attempt to resuscitate a patient especially when in cardiac arrest or respiratory distress or failure.
CPR: A basic emergency procedure for life support, consisting of mainly manual external cardiac massage and some artificial respiration.
Cardiac arrest: Defined as the cessation of cardiac mechanical activity as confirmed by lapse in circulation, which was determined by the absence of a palpable central pulse.
Continual Quality Improvement : CQI is serial experimentation (the scientific method) applied to everyday work to meet the needs of those we serve and improve the services we offer.
Return of Spontaneous Circulation (ROSC): is resumption of sustained perfusing cardiac activity associated with significant respiratory effort after cardiac arrest
References:
In-hospital cardiac arrest is an emergency situation that requires teamwork and the appropriate sequential actions to rescue the patients.[1]despite considerable efforts to improve the treatment of cardiac arrest, most reported survival outcome figures are poor.[2] Even in the hospitalised patients, the rate of successful CPR has been reported by some studies to be as low as 2–6%, although most studies report successful CPR outcome in the range of 13–59%.[3,4]

Very few studies are available in the literature on comparative CPR outcomes after formal resuscitation training. An in-hospital investigation demonstrated that cardiac arrest detected by an ACLS-trained nurse was strongly associated with a four-fold increase in survival to discharge
(38% vs. 10%) than those detected by a nurse without ACLS training.[5] This indicates that ACLS-trained nurses provided an independent contribution to increased survival rate.
Successful resuscitation after cardiac arrest requires early recognition of cardiac arrest, rapid activation of trained responders, timely initiation of BLS, early defibrillation and early ACLS.[6] In accordance with a few data available in the literature, our study reveals that formal training of the CPR team drastically improves the survival rates and survival to hospital discharge rates following resuscitation of cardiac arrest victims. We conclude that formal certified BLS and ACLS training courses with hands-on practice and their periodic renewal are crucial in improving the outcomes of CPR.
Study by Saket Girotra, for the American Heart Association Get with the Guidelines–Resuscitation Investigators in “Trends in Survival after In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest “shows that the overall rate of survival to discharge improved significantly from 13.7% in 2000 to 22.3% in 2009. [7]
