A prospective study on the outcomes on adult cardiopulmonary resuscitation in Cape Town

Outcomes of cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) are poorly monitored or evaluated in our hospitals in South Africa. CPR plays a significant role in emergency medicine, and regardless of poor outcomes internationally, efforts should continuously be made to improve these outcomes. In this study we set out to establish the outcomes of CPR performed on all cardiac arrest patients in two hospitals in the Cape Metropole region.
