Abstract

Background: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) poses a significant global health challenge, often resulting in fatal outcomes.

Objective: This study aims to determine the factors influencing the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) among OHCA patients attended to by emergency medical services (EMS) at Maharat Nakhon Si Thammarat Hospital, Nakhon Si Thammarat Province.

Materials and Methods: A retrospective cohort analysis was conducted to identify factors associated with ROSC. Data was collected on all pre-hospital OHCA cases between July 1, 2022, and June 30, 2023.

Results: Among 151 patients, 39 sustained ROSC. Factors contributing to ROSC included activation time within 2 minutes (AOR = 3.01, 95% CI = 1.05-8.64, P = 0.04), initial shockable cardiac rhythm (AOR = 9.29, 95% CI = 1.53-56.19, P = 0.0159), and total CPR time within 10 minutes (AOR = 8.66, 95% CI = 1.43-52.24, P = 0.019).

Conclusions: These three crucial factors can be utilized to enhance the efficacy of emergency medical services in the future, improving the likelihood of ROSC among OHCA patients.
