Description: The artificial substitution of heart and lung action as indicated for HEART ARREST resulting from electric shock, DROWNING, respiratory arrest, or other causes. The two major components of cardiopulmonary resuscitation are artificial ventilation (RESPIRATION, ARTIFICIAL) and closed-chest CARDIAC MASSAGE.

1.	Heart Arrest (Cardiac Arrest) 06/01/2005 - "Most studies found that thrombolytic therapy during CPR improves the chance for a restoration of spontaneous circulation in patients suffering from cardiac arrest and may even result in a better outcome. " 09/01/2006 - "OBJECTIVE: Witnessed collapse and bystander CPR are the variables most frequently associated with good outcome from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OOHCA). " 04/01/2006 - "PURPOSE OF REVIEW: During cardiopulmonary resuscitation, no specific drug therapy has been shown to improve survival to hospital discharge after cardiac arrest, and only few drugs have a proven benefit for short-term survival. " 03/01/2009 - "STUDY OBJECTIVES: The odds of surviving an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest are significantly improved by the provision of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), but many cardiac arrest victims do not receive it. " 10/01/2009 - "2. The efficacy of external chest compression in generating coronary and cerebral perfusion in cardiopulmonary resuscitation can be significantly impaired when cardiac arrest has occurred during exercise.

2.	Ventricular Fibrillation 10/01/1994 - "Studies in dogs and pigs in ventricular fibrillation have demonstrated a significant improvement in systolic blood pressure, coronary perfusion pressure and total brain and myocardial blood flow with ACD CPR compared with standard CPR. " 04/01/1991 - "Survival was significantly greater with bystander-witnessed arrest, bystander-initiated CPR, paramedic-witnessed arrest, initial rhythm of ventricular fibrillation, and shorter treatment intervals. " 07/06/2004 - "Recent studies have shown that, after prolonged ventricular fibrillation, the rates of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and survival are improved if defibrillation is delayed so that CPR can be given first. " 11/01/2001 - "CONCLUSIONS: In this porcine laboratory model, 90 s and 3 min of CPR improved ventricular fibrillation mean frequency, which correlated positively with coronary perfusion pressure, and mean arterial pressure." 06/01/1999 - "There was no improvement in the number of patients found in ventricular fibrillation after ACD-CPR as compared to STD-CPR performed by the first tier. " Order ALL the reference details at left...
3.	Shock 04/01/2009 - "Despite the improved median frequency in the preshock cardiopulmonary resuscitation group, 24-hour survival with favorable neurological status was significantly worse in the preshock cardiopulmonary resuscitation group (1/13) compared with the shock-first group (8/13, P=0.01). " 12/01/2000 - "CONCLUSION: Although effective in improving outcome of prolonged VF, CPR preceding countershock of VF of 5-minute duration does not improve the response to the first shock, decrease the incidence of postshock pulseless electrical activity, or the rate of return of circulation. " 04/07/1999 - "Studies in animals have shown improved outcomes when cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was administered prior to an initial shock for VF of several minutes' duration. " 09/01/2008 - "The cardioversion outcome prediction (COP) measure previously developed by our group was used to quantify the probability of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) after counter-shock and was used as a measure of the efficacy of CPR. " 11/01/2009 - "OBJECTIVE: Our study evaluates the impact of features of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) on the performance and speed of untrained laypersons to deliver a shock and initiate CPR after a shock.

4.	Myocardial Infarction 03/01/2009 - "CONCLUSIONS: Myocardial function before and after CPR and duration of survival after CPR were significantly improved in animals in which myocardial infarction was treated with MSCs. " 03/01/1985 - "This is largely due to more widespread training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation to the lay public, the advent of mobile and hospital coronary care units with improved survival from myocardial infarction, and aggressive treatment of rhythm disturbances. " 02/01/2008 - "Thrombolysis is an effective treatment for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), but there is no evidence or guideline to put forward a thrombolysis strategy during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). " 03/01/2009 - "Improved outcomes of cardiopulmonary resuscitation in rats with myocardial infarction treated with allogenic bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells." 06/01/2001 - "Efficacy of thrombolysis in patients with acute myocardial infarction requiring cardiopulmonary resuscitation."

5.	Wounds and Injuries (Trauma) 08/01/1999 - "All patients who did not meet the following two criteria were eliminated from the review: 1) a mechanism of blunt trauma, and 2) cardiopulmonary resuscitation performed by a trained medical provider prior to arriving or on arrival to the hospital. " 01/01/1998 - "Efficacy of cardiopulmonary resuscitation in pulseless paediatric trauma patients." 10/01/2008 - "We conclude that current resuscitation guidelines state that there is no evidence to support or refute external cardiac massage prior to defibrillation in-hospital, although a benefit has been shown for patients out-of-hospital if the response time is over 4-5 min. In addition, four large studies including the AHA National Registry of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, who reported the findings of 6789 in-hospital arrests, emphasise the importance of early defibrillation within 1-2 min. More concerning in patients post-cardiac surgery are four case reports after cardiothoracic surgery and five in the non-surgical literature where significant harm has been caused from external cardiac massage, although equally we found cohort studies of cardiac surgical patients who had external cardiac massage followed by re-sternotomy and found no trauma due to external cardiac massage. " 10/01/2007 - "CONCLUSION: This study confirms the poor outcome for children requiring pre-hospital CPR following trauma. " 03/01/2007 - "OBJECTIVE: To review the mechanics of CPR and its associated risks, as well as propose criteria for future studies of CPR-related injuries.
