Extract

In 1979, Eisenberg et al. evaluated the survival rate after an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in a population of approximately half a million people. It was concluded that the survival rate definitely depended on the time before the initiation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the time the definitive care was received. Both were equally important. The time limits found were four minutes for initiation of CPR and eight minutes for definitive care.
