Abstract
Survival after cardiopulmonary resuscitation was studied in 78 cases. The long-term survival rate of 12% was double that of a previous report from this same hospital. Training of nursing personnel in resuscitation fundamentals appeared as 1 factor in the improved survival. Postresuscitation critiques allowed detection of errors in technique. Diagnosis of primary respiratory arrestwas obscured by early use of mechanical ventilators. Use of mouth-to-mouth or bag breathing during the early ruscitation efforts helped overcome this problem.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
