Abstract

The complete global brain ischemia of cardiac arrest (CA), potentially reversible by cardiopulmonary-cerebral resuscitation (CPCR) [1,2] is the most common cause of sudden coma and death [1,3]. Sudden CA kills about 400,000 persons each year in the U.S. In addition, in the over 100,000 accidental deaths each year, coma occurs as a result of trauma, intoxication, asphyxiation, severe shock, or other insults. This talk focused on CPCR research results by our teams, and mentioned only some of the important contributions made by others, most of which have been reviewed [4–7]. Epidemiologic studies suggest that the chance for conscious survival of normothermic CAdecreases by about 10% for every minute of normothermic complete global brain ischemia (no-flow) [3].
