Abstract

CPR should be initiated in any patient who has a cardiac arrest. This might improve overall outcome but implies that CPR is started in patients without any virtual chance for long- term survival (LTS). The aim of this study is, by analysing retrospectively 2713 out- of- hospital cardiac arrests (CA), to identify indices which might be of help in the decision making to continue or to discontinue CPR.
