The first purpose of cardiopulmonary resuscitation is return of spontaneous circulation. Post cardiopulmonary resuscitation cares are fifth stage of American Heart Association cardiopulmonary resuscitation that less take into consideration. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of “24 Hour Survival Rate and it’s determinants in patients with Successful Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation in Ghaem Hospital of Mashhad”. Materials and Methods In this descriptive and analytical study, 80 cases of CPR were selected by convenience sampling in Ghaem hospital of Mashhad. After confirming of cardiac arrest by a resident physician in the wards and declaration of code 99, were performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation by CPR team.
