119구급대에 의해 소생한 병원 전 심장정지 환자 1례

Out-of-Hospital Resuscitation of Cardiac Arrest by 119 Emergency Medical Service System

심폐소생술이란 인공호흡과 순환보조를 통하여 조직으로의 산소 공급을 유지하여 임상적 사망에서 생물학적 사망으로 진행을 막고, 심장박동과 순환을 회복시켜 환자를 소생시켜주는 술기이다. 심폐소생술이 시행되더라도 모든 심장정지 환자가 소생되는 것은 아니며, 얼마나 신속하고 정확하게 심폐소생술이 시행되었느냐에 따라 환자의 생존률이 결정된다. 현장에서 심장정지가 목격되지 않은 환자는 병원이송 전 현장에서 2분간 5주기 심폐소생술을 수행하고 자동제세동기를 사용하도록 하였고, 목격된 환자에게는 즉시 자동제세동기를 사용할 것을 권장하고 있으며 이후 전문적인 심장구조술이 필요하다. 병원 전 단계에서 119 구급대가 이송한 환자 중 자발순환회복(return of spontaneous circulation, ROSC)되어 이송하는 경우와 전문심장구조술을 시행 하는 경우는 매우 드물다. 현장에서 심장정지가 목격되었으나 심폐소생술이 시행되지 않았고 구급대원이 도착한 후 심폐소생술 시행 및 전문심장구조술로 현장에서 자발순환회복되어 생존퇴원한 1례를 경험하여 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

The aim of this study was to report the out-of-hospital resuscitation of cardiac arrest along with literature consideration. CPR is technology of resuscitating patient by maintaining oxygen supply to organ, by preventing progression from clinical death to biological death, and by recovering heart beat and circulation, through circulatory support of mechanical ventilation. It is not what every patient with cardiac standstill is revived even if being implemented CPR. Patient's survival rate is decided by how quickly and correctly CPR was executed. A patient, who wasn't witnessed the cardiac arrest on the field, was performed 5-cycle CPR for 2 minutes on the field before being transferred to hospital, and was allowed to be used AED. A person, who was observed, is recommended to be used AED immediately, and then is said to be needed ACLS (advanced cardiac life support). In the Out-of-Hospital stage, it is rare in a case that 119 Emergency Medical Service System transfers by being ROSC and in a case of executing ACLS. Cardiac arrest was witnessed on the field, but CPR wasn't executed. First-aid staff executed CPR after arriving, and led to ROSC on the field with ACLS, there by having experienced 1 case of a patient's surviving to leave hospital by being ROSC on the field.
