PY - 2023 T2 - Hall, Schmidt and Wood’s Principles of Critical Care, 5th Edition 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.High-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and prompt defibrillation when appropriate are crucial therapies to increase survival from cardiac arrest.Advanced cardiopulmonary life support (ACLS) guidelines provide treatment algorithms for different cardiac rhythms of arrest.Automatic external defibrillators provide a means for rapid defibrillation by the public.Rapid response teams have been developed to help decrease the incidence of in-hospital cardiac arrest.
