Abstract

The article examines whether longer resuscitation times are associated with progressively higher mortality after cardiac arrest (CA). Topics covered include guidelines of the European Resuscitation Council (ERC) regarding cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), impact of the use of extracorporeal CPR (ECPR) on days of survival of CA patients, and the interval between CA and conventional CPR (CCPR).
