Cardiac arrest can strike a seemingly healthy individual of any
age, race, ethnicity, or gender at any time in any location, often
without warning. Cardiac arrest is the third leading cause of death
in the United States, following cancer and heart disease. Four out
of five cardiac arrests occur in the home, and more than 90 percent
of individuals with cardiac arrest die before reaching the
hospital. First and foremost, cardiac arrest treatment is a
community issue - local resources and personnel must provide
appropriate, high-quality care to save the life of a community
member. Time between onset of arrest and provision of care is
fundamental, and shortening this time is one of the best ways to
reduce the risk of death and disability from cardiac arrest.
Specific actions can be implemented now to decrease this time, and
recent advances in science could lead to new discoveries in the
causes of, and treatments for, cardiac arrest. However, specific
barriers must first be addressed. Strategies to Improve Cardiac
Arrest Survival examines the complete system of response to cardiac
arrest in the United States and identifies opportunities within
existing and new treatments, strategies, and research that promise
to improve the survival and recovery of patients. The
recommendations of Strategies to Improve Cardiac Arrest Survival
provide high-priority actions to advance the field as a whole. This
report will help citizens, government agencies, and private
industry to improve health outcomes from sudden cardiac arrest
across the United States. Table of Contents Front Matter Summary 1
