In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest - Decision Aid Among "elderly patients who undergo resuscitation after in-hospital cardiac arrest", at one year: - 49 died during resuscitation - 34 died before hospital discharge - 7 died after hospital discharge - 10 are alive In this chart, one in two elderly patients die during the resuscitation attempt. One out of six survive to leave the hospital alive. Nine out of 10 are dead within one year of the in-hospital cardiac arrest. This leaves us with only one out of 10 alive at one year after an in-hospital resuscitation attempt. #DecisionAid #Geriatrics #InHospital #CardiacArrest #Survival #Resuscitation #DNRDNI #CPR #ACLS
