Prevention of in-hospital cardiac arrest and decisions about cardiopulmonary resuscitation
Rates of survival and complete physiological recovery following in-hospital cardiac arrest are poor in all age groups. For example, fewer than 20% of adult patients having an in-hospital cardiac arrest will survive to go home. Cardiac arrest is rare in both pregnant women and children, but outcomes after in-hospital arrest are also poor. Preventative strategies for each of these groups will be ...
متن کاملProfessional guidelines on Decisions Relating to Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: introduction.
The context in which the British Medical Association (BMA) first considered publishing specific guidelines on decisions about attempting cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), in the early 1990s, needs to be remembered. At that time the subject was often seen as far too sensitive to be mentioned to patients. Many hospitals had no formal policy about how CPR decisions should be made, apart from an...

Since its introduction in the 1960s as a treatment to restart the heart after sudden cardiac arrest from a heart attack, attempts at cardiopulmonary resuscitation have become more common in other clinical situations. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation can be a lifesaving treatment, with the likelihood of recovery varying greatly depending on individual circumstances; however, overall, the proportion...
متن کاملComparison of Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation with Conventional Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: Is Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Beneficial?
BACKGROUND With improvements in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) techniques, the quality and the effectiveness of CPR have been established; nevertheless, the survival rate after cardiac arrest still remains poor. Recently, many reports have shown good outcomes in cases where extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) was used during prolonged CPR. Accordingly, we attempted to evaluate the i...
متن کاملCardiocerebral resuscitation: the new cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
This article reviews research that shows that cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) as it has been practiced and as it is presently taught and advocated is far from optimal. The International Guidelines 2000 for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care, hereafter referred to as “Guidelines 2000,” were evidence based.2 During their formulation, the greatest weight of evidenc...
