Abstract

The physiology of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is complex and changes over time. Becker and Weisfeldt defined three time-sensitive phases of resuscitation: electrical, circulatory, and metabolic (1). Each of these phases is characterized by multiple physiological abnormalities to become more profound and difficult to reverse over time. Beyond the first phase, which can often be corrected by a single intervention (e.g., prompt defibrillation for ventricular fibrillation [VF] or pulseless ventricular tachycardia, and increasing host of challenges develop (e.g., maintaining coronary and cerebral blood flow and pressure, counteracting vasodilatation, cerebral protection, minimize and postresuscitation left ventricular dysfunction).
