Abstract
Cardiac arrest results in cessation of organ perfusion. Circulatory standstill leads to immediate cellular ischemia, anoxia and finally death. The brain is the most rapidly damaged organ, already after 4 to 6 minutes of cardiac arrest in human beings [1], maybe longer in very special circumstances such as in the child, or after drowning in iced water [2]. The myocardium is the second most vulnerable organ, which may tolerate 15 minute anoxia and recover. However, at least in children, the longer the cardiac arrest the less the chances to recover a spontaneously beating heart [3].
