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.
