U.S., Oct. 28 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07899645) titled 'Therapeutic Outcomes of In-Hospital Resuscitation of Patients Admitted to the Internal Medicine Wards' on Oct. 14.

Brief Summary: In-hospital cardiac arrest is a common phenomenon associated with high mortality rates. In the United States, 290,000 cases of in-hospital cardiac arrest among adult patients occur annually (1). The mean patient age is 66 years, and 58% are male. In the majority of cases (81%), the initial cardiac rhythm was non-shockable (asystole, PEA). The primary cause of arrest was cardiac (50-60%), followed by respiratory causes (15-40%) (1).
