Duration of in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation and its effect on survival.

CONCLUSION: Our study shows that CPR duration is inversely associated with the establishment rates of ROSC. Most of the benefits of CPR can be achieved in the first 15 min, and a further increase in the duration of CPR provides a minimal gain. Still, survival was achievable till 38 min in some cases, and the ideal duration of resuscitation should remain a bedside decision taking into consideration the whole clinical picture.
