A recent study released in The Journal of the American Medical Association found that survival rate was better for hospital patients who suffered cardiac arrest during the day as compared to the patients who suffered the cardiac arrest at night.

"It may be that patients aren't checked as often or that there aren't as many staffers in the hospital to respond quickly to emergencies. Or it may suggest the skill and experience level of night hospital workers is lower than that of workers on the day shift."


The study also confirmed an earlier study which found survival rates were better for those cardiac patients during the week versus the weekend cardiac patients.
