Abstract

The development of modern cardiopulmonary-cerebral resuscitation (CPCR) has given every person the ability to challenge death anywhere. Despite sparks of knowledge and occasional applications of possibly effective lifesaving efforts since antiquity, the possibility to reverse acute terminal states or clinical death by modern, physiologically sound, and effective measures did not come about until around 1900 inside hospitals, and around 1960 outside hospitals. Additional potentially effective cerebral resuscitation, research since around 1970, may be taken to clinical trials before the year 2000. The history of resuscitation medicine around 1900, when many opportunities to assemble existing bits of knowledge into an effective system were missed, should be a warning for those individuals who will lead CPCR beyond the year 2000. History has shown the need for continuing communication and collaboration among investigators of different countries, and between laboratory researchers, clinicians of various disciplines, and prehospital rescuers. The lessons learned from history, for research challenges in the near future, include: a) the development of ultra-advanced life support to be initiated outside the hospital, to bridge cardiopul...Continue Reading
