Physiology-Guided Resuscitation: Monitoring and Augmenting Perfusion during Cardiopulmonary Arrest.

Given the high morbidity and mortality associated with cardiopulmonary arrest, there have been multiple trials aimed at better monitoring and augmenting coronary, cerebral, and systemic perfusion. This article aims to elucidate these interventions, first by detailing the physiology of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the available tools for managing cardiopulmonary arrest, followed by an in-depth examination of the newest advances in the monitoring and delivery of advanced cardiac life support.
