The Effect Of Adrenaline Use On The Rate Of Recovery Of Spontaneous Circulation ( ROSC ) In Out-Of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest: A Field Study In The Saudi Red Crescent Authority

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the effect of using adrenaline on the rate of restoration of spontaneous circulation ( ROSC  ) in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest cases, through the field practices of Saudi Red Crescent Authority paramedics. The study used the descriptive analytical approach to determine the relationship between the timing and dose of adrenaline and the outcomes of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), as well as to identify the field factors that influence success. The results showed a strong positive trend towards the effectiveness of adrenaline, with participants confirming that early and regular administration according to approved protocols clearly increases the chances of restoring spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and improves field outcomes. The statistical analysis also showed a high mean (4.43) with significant significance (p < 0.05), reflecting a high degree of agreement among the sample members regarding the importance of the timing and dose of adrenaline in saving out-of-hospital cases.
