Successful Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Rate and Related Factors in Emergency Departments

Abstract

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, also called CPR, is a set of actions taken by conscious and willing
individuals to restore the functions of two vital heart and lung organs and deliver blood and oxygen to the
brain to prevent brain damage. This is an immediate intervention to prevent or delay death in a person who
has suddenly had a cardiopulmonary arrest. About 40 years have passed since the start of cardiopulmonary
resuscitation, so the survival rate is low. Research has shown that about 10 to 15 percent of people survive
after resuscitation. Cardiac resuscitation is on the rise among hospitalized patients, so these measures and
the factors that contribute to its success are crucial.Our aim is to review the success rate of cardiopulmonary
resuscitation and its associated factors in emergency departments and hospitals. In this review study,
keywords such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation, cardiopulmonary arrest, emergency, underlying cause,
success rate, resuscitation outcome and related factors and search on reputable Google scientific databases
Scholar, Pubmed, Web of Science, WHO Web site, Articles and theses published between 1989 and 2019,
and finally a number of sources were selected and critiqued, interpreted, and analyzed. We concluded at the
time of cardiopulmonary arrest, the speed of technicians, equipment, and devices and medicines used will
increase the chances of successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
