Url http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/576581?src=rss
Description A new Swiss study shows that cardiopulmonary resuscitation for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is even more successful in the very elderly than in the general population. This is probably because many of these people live in nursing homes, where automatic external defibrillators are widely available and staff members are trained in CPR, say the researchers. Heartwire
