Description
Summary:Cardiac arrest （CA） is a major cause of death, with an estimated 300 000 cases of out-of-hospital CA reported in Europe and the United States each year. Advances in resuscitation techniques have improved survival such that approximately one-third of patients achieve return of spontaneous circulation （ROSC）. Nonetheless, only between half and one-third of patients who have achieved ROSC survive until discharge.
