Abstract

Bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) has produced variable results since its introduction in the mid-seventies [1–3]. On the one hand, up to 32% survival has been reported, on the other hand, other studies demonstrated no benefit from the method. Although outcome also depends on time- and patient-related factors, the fact that conventional CPR usually does not even generate sufficient vital organ perfusion to maintain aerobic metabolism [4, 5] contributes to mortality and neurologic damage after circulatory arrest.
