NAVARRO VARGAS, Ricardo. Registries of outer hospital cardiac arrest in Bogotta-Colombia. rev.fac.med. [online]. 2005, vol.53, n.3, pp.196-203. ISSN 0120-0011.

There is not a standardized registry form of cardiac events requiring cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in our country such as the Utstein style. The purpose of this study was to determine the quality of the registries of out-ofhospital cardiac arrests in Bogotá-Colombia. A retrospective survey of registries of cardiac events assisted by a regulatory center "Centro Regulador de Urgencias del Distrito (CRU)" was conducted, between January and March, 2005. The study reveals a poor registry of outof-hospital cardiac arrest in Bogotá-Colombia, and identifies trauma as the cause of cardiac arrest in 22% of cases, a particularly high figure compared with 5-8% registered worldwide. Recommend the standardization of the registry form of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and suggest to use the "uniform reporting of data following cardiac arrest - the Utstein style". The registry forms are shown in appendix 1-2. Suggestions are welcome.
