NCS Recommended Cardiac Arrest Registries

Welcome to the Neurocritical Care Society
Cardiac Arrest Registries page!

The NCS formally endorses two cardiac arrest registries: the International Cardiac Arrest Registry (INTCAR) and the National Registry of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (NRCPR).  Both registries are resources to institutions involved in post-resuscitation care of cardiac arrest survivors, providing standardized data collection resources, individualized institutional feedback and data to participants, access to group data, and the opportunity to help improve survival for patients suffering cardiac arrest by improving the science behind our therapeutic options.  The NRCPR is primarily a registry of patients suffering in-hospital cardiopulmonary arrest, while INTCAR currently includes patients suffering both in-hospital and out-of-hospital cardiopulmonary arrest.  There is no direct prohibition against participating in both registries.

The NCS strongly suggests that institutions considering participation in these registries contact their institutional review board (IRB) in order to determine the specific regulatory approvals which might be required for their sites to participate.
