Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in Bahrain: National retrospective cohort study

Aim: There is limited research on Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and especially in Bahrain. This is the first study to describe the incidence, characteristics, and outcomes of OHCA in Bahrain. Methods: This was a retrospective national observational study...

description Aim: There is limited research on Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and especially in Bahrain. This is the first study to describe the incidence, characteristics, and outcomes of OHCA in Bahrain. Methods: This was a retrospective national observational study on OHCA patients in Bahrain using the Utstein framework for resuscitation. Data was collected between 1st July 2022 to 30th June 2023 from the electronic medical records of the only three governmental hospitals emergency departments (EDs) and National Ambulance (NA). Results: The annual incidence of OHCA attended by (Emergency Medical Services) EMS was nearly 21 per 100,000 population. The majority were males (n = 228, 68.8 %) with median age of 65 years (IQR=49–78). Most OHCA cases were witnessed (n = 265, 81 %), with (n = 247, 76 %) happened at home/residence. Rates for bystander CPR was low (n = 122, 36.8 %) and bystander automated external defibrillator (AED) was not performed in any of the cases. The OHCA cases transported by the NA was (n = 314, 94.8 %), with median response time of 9 min (IQR=7–12). However, only (n = 20, 6.0 %) were witnessed by EMS, and (n = 7, 2.1 %) received EMS defibrillation for shockable rhythms. First monitored rhythms included shockable rhythm in (n = 28, 8.5 %) versus non-shockable rhythm in (n = 303, 91.5 %). In the EDs, return of spontaneous circulation was achieved in (n = 60, 18.1 %) cases. But survival rate to hospital discharge at 30-day was (n = 4, 1.2 %) and survival rate to hospital discharge with good neurological outcomes was (n = 0, 0 %). Conclusion: In Bahrain the estimated annual incidence of OHCA is 21 individuals per 100,000 population, with a very low survival rate. Solutions should focus on community-level CPR and AED training, evaluating OHCA care provided by EMS, and establishing OHCA registry.
