Analysing data from 80 patients attended by the East Anglian Air Ambulance, it found that higher diastolic blood pressure (DBP) during CPR significantly increased the likelihood of ROSC. A DBP threshold of 35 mmHg was identified as optimal.

CPR was unsuccessful — and the patient succumbed. = She remained in the ED for over 10 hours until her condition suddenly deteriorated, leading to cardiac arrest in the ED. Emergency cardiac cath was performed — which revealed a proximal LAD occlusion. Shortly thereafter a 2nd cardiac arrest occurred.

We often tend to spend more time on pediatric resuscitation and CPR compared to adults. A recent retrospective study from Japan addressed this issue and found that fewer than 1% of children achieved favorable neurological outcomes (defined as moderate disability or better at one month) when CPR exceeded 64 minutes.

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) can save a life in the event of a cardiac emergency, but very few people know how to perform CPR correctly. The good news is that anyone can perform CPR; you just need to understand the steps involved. Check for Responsiveness You never want to perform CPR on someone who is breathing.

Nursing homes are staffed by healthcare workers, able to respond immediately to cardiac arrest, including provision of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Overall, 80.2% (n=3698) of patients received bystander CPR and where an automated external defibrillator (AED) was available, 77.7% (n=331) were treated with an AED.
