FRAGMENTO

La implementación de la «cadena de supervivencia» (compuesta por los tres eslabones de alerta precoz, maniobras de reanimación cardiopulmonar (RCP) por los testigos presenciales y desfibrilación temprana) ha logrado una optimización a la respuesta después de una paro cardíaco (PC). Sin embargo, la mayoría (70%) de los pacientes que llegan vivos al hospital después de un PC fuera del hospital o de los que ocurren dentro del hospital, fallecen a los pocos días.
