Abstract
About 8% of resuscitation attempts after out of hospital cardiac arrest result in survival to hospital discharge
Give chest compressions to a depth of 5-6 cm at 100-120 per minute; fully release between each compression and minimise interruptions; untrained bystanders should use compression only cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)
CPR prompt and feedback devices improve the quality of CPR but have yet to be shown to improve survival
Undertake defibrillation with minimal interruption in chest compressions.
The optimal method for managing the airway during cardiac arrest is unknown Mechanical CPR devices may have a role during transport and in the cardiac catheterisation laboratory. Although adrenaline is recommended and used routinely, its effect on long term neurological outcome is unclear
