Overall data on out-of hospital CPA patients in 2005-2008. Number of CPA patients shows all patients throughout Japan who were transported to the hospital under CPA by ambulances of Japanese Fire Departments in a 1-year period. Number of IVIs indicates the number of successful IVIs in CPA patients by ELSTs. Number of adrenaline administrations indicates the number of successful adrenaline administrations after IVI in CPA patients by ELSTs. The success rate of IVI (%) was calculated as the number of IVIs divided by the number of CPA patients.
