A member asked:

How effective is airway management for treating cardiac arrest?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cardiac arrest: If you don't take care of the airway and get air/oxygen into the person with cardiac arrest, they will stay dead. If you get the heart restarted but there isn't any air/oxygen going into the patient they will die.
