Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates for this study are patients who experience cardiac arrest while undergoing surgery.

Probably not a fit

Patients who arrive in the operating room already undergoing CPR or those who cannot provide informed consent will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This study aims to gather data on the incidence and outcomes of intraoperative cardiac arrest in Turkey, particularly at Dokuz Eylul University. It will involve collecting patient information through a structured data collection form that includes details on medications and interventions during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The study also seeks to identify the causes of cardiac arrest occurring in the operating room. By analyzing this data, the researchers hope to improve understanding and management of cardiac arrest in surgical settings.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance patient safety and outcomes during surgical procedures by providing critical insights into intraoperative cardiac arrest.

How similar studies have gone: While there is limited data from Turkey, similar studies in other countries have successfully documented intraoperative cardiac arrest, suggesting that this approach could yield valuable insights.
