Abstract

AIM: Ventricular fibrillation (VF) cardiac arrest may consist of three time-sensitive phases: electrical, circulatory, and metabolic. However, the time boundaries of these phases are unclear. We aimed to determine the time boundaries of the three-phase model for VF cardiac arrest.

METHODS: We reviewed 20,741 out-of-hospital cardiac arrest cases with initial VF and presumed cardiac origin from the All-Japan Utstein-style registry between 2013 and 2017. The study endpoint was 1-month neurologically intact survival. The collapse-to-shock interval was defined as the time from collapse to the first shock delivery by emergency medical service personnel. The patients were divided into the bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR,

RESULTS: In the bystander CPR group, the collapse-to-shock times that were associated with increased adjusted 1-month neurologically intact survival, compared with those in the non-bystander CPR group, ranged from 7 min (42.9% [244/4999] vs. 26.0% [119/458], adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.95; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.44-2.63;

CONCLUSIONS: The time boundaries of the three-phase time-sensitive model for VF cardiac arrest may be defined as follows: electrical phase, from collapse to <7 min; circulatory phase, from 7 to 17 min; and metabolic phase, from >17 min onward.
