Abstract

As we mark the 25th anniversary of the clinical application of closed-chest cardiopulmonary resuscitation (SCPR), it is time to look back and analyze the progress we have made in the resuscitation of sudden death syndrome. Recent studies of SCPR's effectiveness have yielded mixed results, in comparison to early studies that were universally favorable. The continued toll of neurologic injury following SCPR resuscitation, and reinforcement of the importance of defibrillation in resuscitation, stimulate us to find improved forms of SCPR and improved methods of resuscitation delivery in emergency medical systems.
