Factors Affecting Successful CPR in Covid-19 Patients: a Systematic Literature Review

Abstract

Cardiac arrest is the sudden cessation of the heart's effective pumping action. This causes the circulation to stop. When circulation stops, it can cause death in a short time. Cardiac arrest occurring in hospital is relatively common in COVID-19 patients and often results in poor outcomes. Only a few critically ill patients with COVID-19 who experience cardiac arrest survive CPR. The purpose of this review is to determine the quality of life in COVID-19 patients with post-CPR cardiac arrest. Method: The paper research was reviewed regarding their iclusion creteria and quality assasment using the Joana Briggs Institute’s critical appraisal checklist. Three electronic databases were used comprehensively to collect the sources. They are Pubmed (2017- 2022), Springerlink (2017-2022), and Sciencedirect (2017-2022). Articles were selected by PRISMA 2020 flow diagram for systematic review. Results: A total 10 studies were selected in this review. Factor affecting successful CPR in Covid 19 pastient According to the results of the literature review, it was found that CPR was successful in COVID-19 patients if the patient experienced ROSC with a duration of between 6-20 minutes and the return of neurological function improved a decrease in the quality of life of CPR patients with COVID-19 compared to CPR before the pandemic. Conclusion: The conclusion from this summary is that there is a decrease in the success of CPR in COVID-19 patients compared to CPR in non-COVID-19 patients, thus affecting the low quality of life in COVID-19 patients who experience cardiac arrest. Through the results of the literature review, it is hoped that it can be considered as one of the factors that can increase the success of CPR in handling CPR in COVID-19 patients who experience cardiac arrest.
