Description
Israel Kayode Kolawole leads a large Nigerian team evaluating care for cardiac arrest outside hospitals in a 2026 multicenter survey. Data came from six teaching hospitals, one in each geopolitical zone, covering 387 adults whose hearts had stopped before arrival. The team checked each link in the chain of survival, from recognition and calls for help to resuscitation attempts and hospital outcomes.
Most arrests happened at home, and most were witnessed, yet ambulances arrived in only about a third of cases where they were called. Resuscitation before hospital was attempted rarely, and fewer than two percent of patients survived to discharge. The authors call for a coordinated, deliberate effort to rebuild emergency response across the country.
