Introduction Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest defined as Cessation of cardiac mechanical activity that is confirmed by the absence of signs of circulation and that occurs outside of the hospital setting 1) 300 000 OHCA each year in the USA 70-85 % have cardiac etiology 2) ~10 000/year OHCA in Switzerland =1/1 000/year = every 1-2 hours an OHCA in Switzerland 3) Overall survival: 8-10 % 1) 1) Roger VL et al.

Treatment Characteristics Contributing to Survival Mooney MR et al. Circulation 2011;124:206-214
Factors in Favor of Immediate Invasive Approach in Patients with Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) ST elevation myocardial infarction Short time interval arrest beginning CPR Short time interval CPR to ROSC Suspected ACS Younger age Responsive after CPR Absence of cardiogenic shock
Factors in Favor of Conservative Approach in Patients with Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) Long time interval arrest beginning CPR Long time interval CPR to ROSC No return of spontaneous circulation Cardiogenic shock/hemodynamically unstable No ACS suspected Primary VF 2 to known pathology (e.g. CMP) ECG pattern other than ST elevation Older age Female gender Recurrent arrhythmias

Journal of Translational Medicine 2012;10:163 Patients with witnessed out-of-hospital arrest and unsuccessful CPR (no return of spontaneous circulation)
Conclusion 1. Cardiac mortality is high in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. 2. In OHCA patients with ST elevation ECG primary PCI is improving outcome and is recommended as routine treatment strategy. 3. In patients with other ECG patterns, in whom ACS is suspected an invasive strategy should be considered. 4. The decision for an invasive evaluation is however greatly influenced by patient characteristics and the success of the CPR. 5. In younger patients with initial unsuccessful CPR a hyperinvasive approach (cardiopulmonary bypass, intraarrest PCI) might be attempted.
