Resuscitation After Cardiac Arrest: A 3-Phase Time-Sensitive Model

Despite 40 years of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) therapies, overall survival rates after cardiac arrest remain poor. Recent data suggest that the death toll in the US is greater than previously believed--possibly 450,000 sudden deaths each year--yet the average survival rate remains lower tha...

Zusammenfassung:Despite 40 years of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) therapies, overall survival rates after cardiac arrest remain poor. Recent data suggest that the death toll in the US is greater than previously believed--possibly 450,000 sudden deaths each year--yet the average survival rate remains lower than 5%. Weisfeldt and Becker discuss CPR success rates.
