Abstract
Initially designed to rescue patients experiencing a sudden cardiac arrest due to arrhythmia,1 cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) has come to be seen as a procedure that should be used for patients for whom there is reasonable chance of restoring cardiopulmonary function and prolonging life.2 Many guidelines, articles, and legal actions recommend circumstances under which resuscitation should be attempted.Keywords
