Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is one of the leading causes of death and is a major public health problem in the United States. Since 2005, LifeNet, Inc. has been dedicated to measuring and reporting SCA statistics using the Utstein Style for reporting cardiac arrest data. As part of this process, LifeNet clinical quality improvement staff review and report on every adult SCA patient whose arrest is deemed to be of a medical (non-traumatic) origin. LifeNet is pleased to provide you with our latest results (calendar 2016) from our Sudden Cardiac Arrest database.
