Abstract
This abstract will discuss the global implications of cardiovascular disease and data on survival to discharge after cardiac arrest. An opportunity for improvement in resuscitation performance with the use of defibrillators is identified, along with a strategy used by one hospital. Subsequent outcomes will be described.
