Shorter pauses in CPR before, after shocks up survival odds

Written By Kamasirna Land on 6.27.2011 | 13:53

Cardiac arrest patients were 53% less likely to survive if the paramedic team paused CPR for more than 20 seconds before administering defibrillator shocks compared with those with pauses of less than 10 seconds, a study in the journal Circulation found. Researchers found worse odds of survival in those who had pauses of more than 40 seconds before and after defibrillation. But data showed that differences in post-shock pauses before resuming CPR were not associated with differences in survival rates through hospital discharge.
