Koubová, Magdaléna ; Knor, Jiří (advisor) ; Sýkora, Roman (referee)
Aims: The aim of this work was to map the differences in the primary causes of cardiac arrest in children and compare them with adults. It was also important to compare the diversity of forecasts, or CPR results, for certain causes of circulatory arrest. Last but not least, certain socio-demographic parameters were compared here. Specifically, they were gender and age. Methods: The research part of this work was processed retrospectively. The data were provided from the emergency services of the Central Bohemian Region for the years 2019 and 2020. These were trips to the reported circulations. The hypotheses were processed using the chi square test and the independence test, with a significance level of 5%. Results: Of the total number of 1,190 patients with OHCA, 21 were children and 1,169 were adult patients. It was found that 15 children had a respiratory cause of circulatory arrest (68.75%). In contrast, in adults, only 102 (8.73%) had a respiratory cause. CPR resulted in 8 ROSC for children (38.1%) and for 286 adults (24.47%). There were 5 children (71.43%) who had a primary cause of OHCA drowning and a positive result (ROSC). Only 3 children (21.43%) had a different cause of circulatory arrest and ROSC as a result of CPR. Adults with OHCA are mostly men (72.63%). Conversely, in children,...
