| Popis: | Background: The presence of gasping in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients predicts short-term prognosis. We performed a retrospective study to evaluate whether the presence of gasping at the time of Emergency Medical Service (EMS) arrival in the case OHCA patients of presumed cardian origin has any impact on six-month survival and/or sustained return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). Methods: We collected and analyzed Utstein Style data for all patients resuscitated for OHCA of presumed cardiac origin by the EMS of the Central Bohemian Region from July 1st, 2013 to June 30th, 2014. Results: During the data collection period, 565 cases of OHCA of presumed cardiac origin were reported. Gasping at the time of EMS arrival was identified in 23.9%. The presence of gasping was associated with a significantly increased frequency of sustained ROSC (48.1 versus 20.7%, P |
