What is resuscitation in a hospital?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
CPR: Resuscitation is defined as any medical intervention to sustain life, such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for cardiac arrest. However, resuscitation is not limited solely to CPR. Patients who require resuscitation in the hospital are usually critically-ill requiring life support in the setting of an intensive care unit (ICU).
