Test Your Knowledge on CPR and Cardiac Arrest Response

• Parada cardiorrespiratoria (PCR) is the sudden loss of heart and lung functions, leading to unconsciousness and ultimately death.
• The longer a patient goes without assistance during a PCR, the lower their chances of survival and the higher the risk of severe neurological damage.
• Reanimación cardiopulmonar (RCP) is a set of maneuvers aimed at restoring the lost functions during a PCR.
• RCP Cerebral is focused on diagnosing PCR early and providing immediate assistance to prevent neurological damage.
• Muerte Súbita (MS) refers to the unexpected cessation of heart function.
• RCP transtelefónica is RCP guided over the phone by a teleoperator from the emergency services.
• Teleoperators can provide guidance on SVB maneuvers and call for a mobile ICU unit to be dispatched to the scene.
• Compresiones torácicas externas (CTE) are chest compressions that help maintain blood circulation during a PCR.
• CTE are more important than breaths in adults, and uninterrupted CTE can be used for RCP.
• Early and effective RCP can significantly improve a patient's chances of survival and reduce the risk of neurological damage.
