Billions of Euros, Dollars and other currencies are invested in an attempt to reduce deaths from road traffic crashes, yet there are 20 times more deaths following unsuccessful cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Nevertheless, the amount of money that is spent on research, prevention and treatment of sudden cardiac death and CPR is very limited. There is also considerably less money spent on CPR research in comparison with that invested in diseases such as cancer, myocardial infarction, stroke and heart failure.
