Current Topic

Cardiopulmonary ResuscitationGuest Editor: Wanchun Tang

The current disappointing outcome of cardiopulmonary resuscitation after sudden death reflects not only the constraints in implementation but also, in my opinion, the still primitive knowledge of the pathophysiology of cardiac arrest and the implication for resuscitation. Surprisingly, there is a paucity of research and research support. Such a fact, in part, reflects the lack of incentive to support such research. The perception of many, in both the professional and the lay communities, is that CPR is a “settled issue” that requires little or no additional research. Although the American Heart Association has always cautioned in each of the Guidelines of CPR otherwise, this perception of a settled issue continues.
