Sudden cardiac death • Sudden, non-traumatic deathcaused by cardiac disease • 1 hour after symptoms onset • Heart disease may be known, but time and reason for death is unpredictable • Incidence in USA and Europe is 0,1 – 0,5/1000, varies in different regions • Mortality77 -100% (dependent on SCD definition, health care system, inclusion criteria ,..., most often roundabout 94 % Endorsed by Grant of Ministry of Health No. 7254-3

Discussion: symptoms onset - medical aid time interval • Median time of 15 min in day-time andof 18 min in night-timeis very long • Affected by late emergency calls,long departure time and also to long arrival times • Night-time doesn`t affect a decision not to start with ALS but does affect the result of ALS in terms of mortality rate Endorsed by Grant of Ministry of Health No. 7254-3
Discussion: symtoms onset – emergency call • Median of 8 min is to long • It is the same time as time required for transport of medical crew despite the fact that almost 80% SCD where witnessed • Whiteness do not recognise hemodynamic arrest symptoms, do not know emergency call numbers, do not know what to do Endorsed by Grant of Ministry of Health No. 7254-3
Discussion: departure time • Immediate reaction of crews in most centres • Internal guidelines are properly followed Endorsed by Grant of Ministry of Health No. 7254-3
Discussion: arrival time • The shorter arrival median time, the better overall results = ALS + survival • Medianin survivors = 6 min, VF 7 min • This time interval appears to be one of the most potent predictive factors for survival in this study • Median = 8 min • Still good result in comparison with results from abroad, • National guidelines are followed in high • Median arrival time is still to long if seen in the light of brain death • In few centres there is unacceptably long departure time • It reflects a situation in the distributionof centres any changes required???

Conclusion • This study shows particularly good availability of medical care in region • Generally no delays happen in professional pre-hospital care • Guidelines are followed at high degree • Dismal mortality rate was expectable, but is still good in comparison with other published data (average survival 0,5 – 2%) • Problem is low public awareness regarding SCD Endorsed by Grant of Ministry of Health No. 7254-3
