According to the American Heart Association, out-of-hospital cardiac arrest can affect more than 300,000 people in the United States each year. [5] Three minutes after the onset of cardiac arrest, a lack of blood flow starts to damage the brain, and 10 minutes after, the chances of survival are low. [6]
Cardiac arrest is diagnosed by the inability to find a pulse in an unresponsive patient. [4] [1] The goal of treatment for cardiac arrest is to rapidly achieve return of spontaneous circulation using a variety of interventions including CPR, defibrillation, and/or cardiac pacing.
Yet there are cases of patients regaining consciousness during CPR while still in full cardiac arrest. [26] In absence of cerebral function monitoring or frank return to consciousness, the neurological status of patients undergoing CPR is intrinsically uncertain. It is somewhere between the state of clinical death and a normal functioning state.
‘Dead’ cardiac arrest patients brought back to life may experience ‘new dimensions of reality’, study finds. Vishwam Sankaran. September 14, 2023 at 10:59 PM.
In the United States, cardiac arrest outside of hospital occurs in about 13 per 10,000 people per year (326,000 cases). In hospital cardiac arrest occurs in an additional 209,000 [59] Cardiac arrest becomes more common with age. It affects males more often than females. [60]
In the case of cardiac injuries, cardiopulmonary resuscitation is initiated by bystanders or family members 25% of the time. [1] Basic life support techniques, such as performing CPR on a victim of cardiac arrest, can double or even triple that patient's chance of survival. [2]
Asystole is found initially in only about 28% of cardiac arrest cases in hospitalized patients, [3] but only 15% of these survive, even with the benefit of an intensive care unit, with the rate being lower (6%) for those already prescribed drugs for high blood pressure. [4]
The patient recovered fully. [5] A 66-year-old man suffering from a suspected abdominal aneurysm suffered cardiac arrest and received chest compressions and defibrillation shocks for 17 minutes during treatment for his condition. Vital signs did not return; the patient was declared dead and resuscitation efforts ended.
