About 450,000 Americans have cardiac arrest annually. About 80% of cardiac arrests occur at home, for which the rate of death is at least 90%. More than half the survivors have permanent brain damage of varying degrees.The use of an implantable cardioverter–defibrillator in appropriate patients5 and the availability of public-access defibrillators have improved survival with an acceptable quality of life. In-hospital arrests have slightly better outcomes than those that occur outside the hospital, with restoration of circulation in 44% of patients and survival to discharge in 17% of patients. Two randomized, controlled trials showed a positive effect of hypothermia on mortality and morbidity after cardiac arrest.
