|
The Korea Sudden Cardiac Arrest Survey has been conducted annually, which could support to make and evaluate policy for the prevention and treatment of sudden cardiac arrest. Based on the first aid activity log of 2019, 30,782 cases of sudden
cardiac arrest in out-of-hospitals were happened in Korea. The rate of men was 64.6%, and 51.5% of the cases were 70
years of age and over.The cases of Gyeonggi, 6,848 was the highest of those of cities and provinces, and the Seoul 4,424,
Gyeongnam 2,167, and Gyeongbuk 2,157 were followed. The survival rate and brain function recovery rate were 8.7 % and
5.4 %, respectively. Despite the continued increase since 2006, these rates were still low. The rate of cardiopulmonary
resuscitation by bystander had been also increased, the higher survival rate was examined in the cases with
cardiopulmonary resuscitation by bystander. It could be a useful evidence that cardiopulmonary resuscitation should be
performed on patients with sudden cardiac arrest.
