This beneficial action comes with a significant negative consequence—increased cardiac irritability—which may lead to additional complications immediately following an otherwise successful resuscitation.

In 1947, Beck accomplished his first successful resuscitation of a 14-year-old boy using open chest massage and internal defibrillation with alternating current.

An individual patient data meta-analysis Are patients brain-dead after successful resuscitation from cardiac arrest suitable as organ donors?

Even if all three conditions were met, Alcor does not guarantee a successful resuscitation or even an effort at one.

This approach appears to be supported by another report of a single case of successful resuscitation.

Widely varying figures for successful resuscitation (2-44%) have subsequently been reported.

The objective is to delay tissue death and to extend the brief window of opportunity for a successful resuscitation without permanent brain damage.

Finally, after the successful resuscitation of animals placed in biostasis using the old techniques of the 1980s, physicians turn to our heart-attack patient.

In addition, Resuscitation Certificates may be granted to those who, though not professionally trained to do so, carry out a successful resuscitation.

This led to my first successful resuscitation.
