Abstract :Aim: In this study, in-hospital cardiac arrest and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest cases in which cardiopulmonary resuscitation was applied in our clinic were analyzed and their similarities and differences with other studies in the literature were evaluated. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted at Kayseri City Hospital’s Emergency Department between 01.01.2024-31.12.2024. The study examined data from patients aged 18 years and older who underwent cardiopulmonary resuscitation due to in-hospital cardiac arrest or out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Of the 567 patients included in the study, age, gender, setting of cardiac arrest (in-hospital & out-of-hospital), date and time of arrival to the emergency department. Results: The median age was 72 years. The demographic composition of the patient population is as follows: 56.3% of the patients were male. While 69.3% (n=393) of the patients were out-of-hospital cardiac arrest cases, 30.7% were in-hospital cardiac arrest cases. When analyzed in terms of emergency department mortality, a statistically significant difference emerged in relation to age and gender (p values <0.001 and 0.013, respectively). When analyzed in terms of emergency department mortality, no statistically significant differences were observed in relation to arrival time and seasonal groups or in-hospital or out-of-hospital arrest groups (0.224, 0.159, 0.218, respectively). Conclusion: This study revealed that age and gender factors had an effect on mortality in patients who received cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the emergency department.
