Core Tip	Admission to intensive care after cardiac arrest is increasing. With the improvements in intensive care practice the survival to hospital discharge is being reported in up to 50% of patients. This study, one of the largest series published so far, was aimed to identify any association between patient factors, cardiac arrest characteristics and post-cardiac arrest management strategies with survival to hospital discharge. The results of this study confirm that of all the factors studied, shockable rhythm and shorter time to return of spontaneous circulation were independently associated with increased survival to hospital discharge.
