Impact of cardiopulmonary resuscitation training on resuscitation

Critical Care Medicine, 1979
Restoration of adequate spontaneous circulation after "arrest" and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) of 546 patients before and 460 patients after initiation of a CPR training course in a 500-bed city hospital is reported. Between January 1972 and June 1976, adequate circulation after CPR was present in 38.6% of patients before and 50.4% after ...

The Physiology of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

Anesthesia & Analgesia, 2016
Outcomes after cardiac arrest remain poor more than a half a century after closed chest cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was first described. This review article is focused on recent insights into the physiology of blood flow to the heart and brain during CPR.

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation of the Elderly

Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, 1984
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) has been practiced since 1960. In mixed‐age populations there is about a 10 per cent survival rate. Most CPR studies state that “age alone” is not a critical factor in survival. Studies that focus specifically on the elderly suggest that although “age alone” is not a critical survival factor, previous level of ...

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation in Pregnancy

Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics of North America, 2007
Although pregnancy and delivery in the United States are usually safe for mother and her newborn child, serious maternal complications, including cardiac arrest, can occur in the prenatal, intrapartum and postpartum periods. The clinical obstetrician can expect to encounter this complication in his or her career.

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation of the Newborn

Pediatrics In Review, 1990
Approximately 3.5 million babies are born each year in approximately 5000 hospitals in the United States. Only 15% of these hospitals have neonatal intensive care facilities. Six percent of all newborns require life support in the delivery room or nursery, and this need for resuscitation rises to 80% in neonates weighing less than 1500 g at birth.

Ventilation and cardiopulmonary resuscitation

Current Opinion in Anaesthesiology, 1999
Ventilation is essential for oxygenation of the alveoli and arterial blood. Comatose humans have upper airway soft tissue obstruction unless the head is tilted backwards and sometimes, in addition, the jaw thrust forward. In 1960, measurements on comatose humans with or without cardiac arrest, with or without a tracheal tube, showed essentially no ...

The history of cardiopulmonary resuscitation

Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1980
The development of modern cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is an exciting and surprising history to modern health professionals who rarely are aware of how new CPR really is. Artificial respiration began in the 16th century with Vesalius's work on living animals; progressed with the rise and fall of mouth-to-mouth, manual, and positive pressure ...

In-Hospital Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

Survey of Anesthesiology, 1989
A retrospective review of 399 cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) efforts in 329 veterans was performed to evaluate the observation that few geriatric patients were discharged alive after they underwent CPR. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation efforts with witnessed arrests were more frequently successful than efforts with unwitnessed arrests (47.7% vs 29.9%)

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Update

Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 2012
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is vital therapy in cardiac arrest care by lay and trained rescuers. Chest compressions are the key component of CPR. Ventilation and airway management should be secondary to high-quality and continuous chest compressions in patients receiving CPR.
