Abstract

Background and Objectives: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a major global public health concern, especially in India, where the lack of an official registry makes it difficult to gauge the full extent of the problem. With a focus on young cardiac arrest patients, this study intends to shed light on OHCA at MMI Narayana Multi-speciality Hospital in Raipur by examining survival rates and important affecting factors. Materials and Techniques: Data from January through December 2023 were analyzed using the Utstein OHCA registry as part of a registry-based observational study that was carried out in the emergency department of the urban Indian tertiary care MMI Narayana Multi-speciality Hospital in Raipur. Non-traumatic OHCA patients of all ages who were admitted to the hospital met the inclusion criteria. Results: Of the 123 non-traumatic OHCA instances, 8.1% involved laypeople doing bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Young adults (18–49 years old) had a 3.1% survival rate, whereas the overall survival rate was 0.8%. Notably, increased survival rates were linked to continued CPR. Conclusion: Immediate action is needed to address low survival rates, particularly among young people in India who are experiencing OHCA. Given that citizen education takes a lot of time, our main suggestion is to focus on quick and focused interventions to increase public awareness and training. Putting emergency physicians at the center of these initiatives enables them to handle complex obstacles, maximize short-term results, and support ongoing OHCA care development in India.
