This is a prospective observational cohort study looking at adults having cardiac arrest (defined as receipt of chest compressions and/or defibrillation) after admission to an Intensive Care Unit (ICU). There is little accurate and useable data on cardiac arrests in ICU currently. This study aims to determine the incidence and outcomes of IHCA in UK ICUs and explore associated risk factors with ICU and hospital survival and quality of life following hospital discharge. The aim is to recruit all patients who have a cardiac arrest on intensive care over 3 years.
