Abstract

Cardiovascular diseases are one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality in the country. Among these are the ischemic heart that are responsible for most cases of cardiac arrest that usually leave permanent sequelae or death of the person leads to affected. Thus, a study of integrative review with the objective of identify the results of survival after cardiac arrest in Brazil. The nine articles used were selected in the Virtual Health Library. The three studies conducted with patients who had a cardiac arrest in the prehospital environment showed a survival to hospital admission from 24.1% to 50.4% and only one identified these survival after 30 days was 4.0%. As to six studies with patients who had a cardiac arrest in hospital, one was from patients with cardiac arrest traumatic origins, showed a ratio of 40.0% patients with return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and 6.0% of them had high hospital. The other five studies of patients with a cardiac arrest source non-traumatic in the hospital reported a ROSC of 24.0% to 58.0% and an index of survival to hospital discharge from 5.0% to 28.0%. From these studies it was found that despite technological advances, survival rates are low and reversal of cardiac arrest still constitutes a challenge for health professionals.
