Y1 - 2015 N1 - T2 - Principles of Critical Care, 4e AB - Most cardiac arrests in the community setting occur as a result of coronary artery disease and cardiac ischemia.Given the high mortality of cardiac arrest, prevention is crucial.Cardiopulmonary resuscitation and rapid defibrillation are the keys to successful resuscitation from cardiac arrest.Advanced Cardiopulmonary Life Support (ACLS) guidelines provide treatment algorithms for the different cardiac rhythms of arrest.Automatic external defibrillators provide a means for rapid defibrillation by the public.High-quality CPR and prompt defibrillation when appropriate are the only proven therapies to increase survival from cardiac arrest.Rapid response teams have been developed to help decrease the incidence of in-hospital cardiac arrest.
