ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

It is proposed that patients in single-occupancy patient rooms (SPRs) carry a risk of less surveillance by nursing and medical staff and that resuscitation teams need longer to arrive in case of in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA). Higher incidences of IHCA and worse outcomes after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) may be the result.

OBJECTIVES:

Our study examines whether there is a difference in incidence and outcomes of IHCA before and after the transition from a hospital with multibedded rooms to solely SPRs.

METHODS:

In this prospective observational study in a Dutch university hospital, as a part of the Resuscitation Outcomes in the Netherlands study, we reviewed all cases of IHCA on general adult wards in a period of 16.5 months before to 16.5 months after the transition to SPRs.

RESULTS:

During the study period, 102 CPR attempts were performed 51 in the former hospital and 51 in the new hospital. Median time between last-seen-well and start basic life support did not differ significantly, nor did median time to arrival of the CPR team. Survival rates to hospital discharge were 30.0% versus 29.4% of resuscitated patients (p = 1.00), with comparable neurological

outcomes:

86.7% of discharged patients in the new hospital had Cerebral Performance Category 1 (good cerebral performance) versus 46.7% in the former hospital (p = .067). When corrected for telemetry monitoring, these differences were still nonsignificant.

CONCLUSIONS:

The transition to a 100% SPR hospital had no negative impact on incidence, survival rates, and neurological outcomes of IHCAs on general adult wards.
