“…This can be explained by the increasing prevalence of CVS disease among the domestic and world population. Unknown causes occupy the second place in the etiology of OHCA, which is more than in the prospective study of EuReCa Serbia [12,13,14,19]. The patients in this study are mostly elderly, most of the ages from 60-80 years.…”

“…In recent studies in the country and regions, data records differ in the number of patients with OHCA over a one-year period, ranging from 148 on the territory of Novi Sad, to 7773 on the territory of Croatia [10,11]. The incidence in municipalities on the territory of Serbia varies, ranging from about 22 per year in Kanjiža [12], then 119 in Sombor [13], to 148 in Zrenjanin [14]. Gender distribution shows male predominance, just under three-quarters, which is consistent with many other surveys in the country [10,15,16] and globally [17,18].…”

“…U novijim studijama u zemlji i regionu, podaci beleže razlike u broju pacijenata sa VSZ u toku jednogodišnjeg perioda, koji se kreću od 148 na teritoriji Novog Sada, do 7773 na teritoriji cele Hrvatske [10,11]. Incidenca u opštinama na teritoriji Srbije je raznolika; kreće se od oko 22 godišnje u Kanjiži [12], zatim 119 u Somboru [13], do 148 u Zrenjaninu [14]. Polna distribicija pokazuje predominaciju muškog pola, nešto manje od tri četvrtine, što je u skladu sa mnogim drugim istraživanjima u zemlji [10,15,16] i na globalnom nivou [17,18].…”

“…To se može objasniti sve većom zastupljenošću KVS bolesti među domaćom i svetskom populacijom. Nepoznati uzroci zauzimaju drugo mesto u etilogiji VSZ, što je više nego u prospektivnoj studiji EuReCa Srbija [12,13,14,19]. Pacijenti u ovom istraživanju su uglavnom stariji; većina je starosti u rasponu od 60-80 godina.…”

Introduction: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is the most urgent condition that medical professionals are faced with. The applied measures of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) aim to establish the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). This study aimed to determine the frequency of OHCA, as well as the demographic characteristics of patients. Methods: The research is in the form of a retrospective study in the period from January 1. 2022 - December 31. 2022. in the Emergency Medical Service of Pančevo. The data were taken from protocols of home visits and calls, and descriptive statistics presented the results. Results: In the one-year period, OHCA occurred in 36 patients. Most were men (69.4%) of older age, with a peak at the age of 70-81 years. The place of occurrence is mostly the residence (72.2%), and the bystander is a layman (77.8%). Basic Life Support (BLS) measures were initiated in 13.9%. The dominant initial rhythm was non-shockable in 69.4%, and ROSC was established in 39%. The dispatcher recognized that 75% of the cases were OHCA. The etiology is mainly cardiovascular in 44.4% of patients. The most frequent occurrences of OHCA were during the afternoon hours, and the highest number of cases occurred in October. Conclusion: The place of residence, as the most common place where OHCA occurs, and a small number of initiated BLS, as well as a part of the unrecognized OHCA by dispatchers indicate the necessity of educating the population, but also introducing a unique protocol for dispatchers.
