Supports rapid CPR and defibrillation in witnessed arrest; leaves open optimal protocols for unwitnessed or prolonged events.
CPR provides artificial ventilation and circulation until advanced cardiac life support can be provided, with the greatest benefit seen in patients with witnessed sudden arrest due to ventricular fibrillation.
A 1992 study conducted a review in Cardiopulmonary arrest. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was evaluated. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation provides artificial ventilation and circulation, with the greatest benefit in witnessed sudden arrest when electrical countershock is performed within 7 to 8 minutes.
