Cardiac arrest is a leading cause of death globally, and Indonesia is no exception. In Indonesia, cardiac arrest is a primary public health concern, causing significant morbidity and mortality. The incidence of cardiac arrest in Indonesia has increased in recent years, and it is estimated that the number of cardiac arrests in the country will continue to rise in the coming years.
Cardiac Arrest Cases In Indonesia
According to the Indonesian Ministry of Health, the incidence of cardiac arrest in Indonesia is estimated to be approximately 350,000 cases per year, with a mortality rate of approximately 90%. This high mortality rate is largely due to the lack of awareness about cardiac arrest and the limited availability of appropriate treatment and management options.
In addition, most cardiac arrests in Indonesia occur outside hospitals, making timely treatment and management more challenging.
