Abstract

Cardiac arrest is a main cause of death worldwide. It represents a huge impact on socio-economic status in addition to affecting a large number of patients. Many of CA survivors have moderate to severe functional impairment after discharge.
CA registry is important as it helps to improve resuscitation care in the emergency department over time. Additionally, it will provide a benchmark to assess the future effect of changes in patientmanagement.
During the past decade, both neurologic and survival outcomes after CA have improved at hospitals participating in a national quality-improvement registry. Currently, cardiac arrest registries in Africa and Middle East are scanty, although there are many registries in Europe and USA.
Aim:
The primary aim of this study was to monitor quality and quality improvement initiatives for CA patients by collecting data on processes of care and outcomes. The secondary aim is to determine incidence of different causes of CA and incidence of successful resuscitation.
