The incidence density rate of cardiac arrest among intensive care unit patients was high. This study also revealed that chronic kidney disease, delirium, intubation, oxygen saturation level below 90% and patients admitted with cardiovascular disease were independent predictors of the occurrence of cardiac arrest among intensive care unit patients. Finally, we recommend that clinician pays attention to those identified as preventable risk factors for early interventions to improve the recovery process of patients in the ICU.
