Nighttime and weekend in-hospital cardiac arrest
Hospitalist Leadership Connection, June 16, 2008
A study released by The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) finds a connection between survival rates for patients who suffer in-hospital cardiac arrest and the time and day of the week it occurs. Survival rates, according to the study, were lower during nights and weekends, that is, from 11:00 p.m. to 6:59 a.m. for nighttime hours and 11:00 p.m. on Friday to 6:59 a.m. on Monday on weekend hours.
