Abstract:
Sudden cardiac death is a major health hazard in the western world. During the year 2000 new guidelines for advanced cardiac life support were published. These comprehensive guidelines are based on international consensus and present the scientific evidence for each therapeutic intervention. During the following two years new studies investigating the treatment of cardiac arrest have provided new evidence for patients' care. The innovations in this area include the use of automatic external defibrillators, new drugs and measures to minimize brain injury. This review covers some of the new emerging issues in the treatment of cardiac arrest.
