When starting CPR the patient is unconscious, not breathing and has no pulse - this is called clinical death. At the point when the patient stopped breathing, their brain has approxamately 4 minutes till brain death starts. By doing CPR you are effectively feeding the brain with Oxygen rich blood and therefore preventing tissue necrosis.

The chances of survival for a person who has experienced a cardiac arrest is increased by?
The chances of survival for a person who has experienced a cardiac arrest in increased by early CPR and early defibrillation. During cardiac arrest, the heart is not pumping and the organs are not receiving oxygen. High quality CPR can provide the organs with oxygen until the heart can be defibrillated or restarted with drugs. Every minute that the organs, especially the brain, are deprived of oxygen decreases the chance of survival.
What is a common but sometimes fatal mistake in cardiac arrest management?
A common but sometimes fatal mistake in cardiac arrest management is delaying or failing to initiate CPR promptly. Immediate bystander CPR can significantly increase the chances of survival for someone experiencing cardiac arrest. Delaying CPR can lead to irreversible damage to the brain and other vital organs due to lack of oxygen.
Circumstances where resuscitation may be needed?
Resuscitation may be needed in situations such as cardiac arrest, drowning, drug overdose, severe allergic reactions, choking, and electric shock. Prompt and effective resuscitation can help restore normal body functions and increase the chance of survival.
