Summary
The global incidence of cardiac arrest (CA) outside of the hospital setting is roughly 100/100,000 person/years, but there is substantial variation between countries and continents.[1] A coronary artery occlusion is the most common cause, but CA may also be caused by a primary arrhythmia, other cardiac diseases, or be secondary to a noncardiac cause such as hypoxia or asphyxia;[2] opiate drug overdose may account for several cases, especially in the United States. Survival rates have increased during the last few decades, and approximate 10% in Europe [3] and the United States.[4] A cardiac arrest leads to an immediate interruption of perfusion of all body organs including the brain (no flow). Bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) will partly restore circulation (low flow), and rapid institution of bystander CPR is the most important modifiable factor for survival.[5] During the period of “no” and “low” flow until the restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), the brain and all other organs are exposed to global ischemia.
