Preload in cardiopulmonary resuscitation-rethinking about high-quality CPR / 中国实用内科杂志

ABSTRACT

Cardiac arrest is one of the leading causes of death all over the world. Despite the progress in the researches of pathopgenesis and management of cardiopulmonary resuscitation,the survival rate of patients with cardiac arrest has remained disappointingly low over the past two decades with only about 7%. On the other hand, in the past decades researchs about CPR mainly focus on the quality of compression. It is largely unknown the relation of preload and flow during cardiac resuscitation, evidence to augment preload during CPR may be one of futher direction to improve the outcome of cardiac arrest patients.
