Abstract

Accidental and coronary deaths occurring outside operating rooms are sometimes reversible by modern cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Thus, all physicians should be experienced in the theoretical and practical aspects of this technic.

The three phases of resuscitation consist of (1) establishing reoxygenation of the central nervous system, (2) restarting spontaneous circulation, and (3) supporting recovery. These and other aspects of resuscitation are outlined, together with the special considerations necessary in cases of exsanguinating hemorrhage and shock.
