<unk><unk>  death is a natural, rapid, unexpected death secondary to<unk>  causes other than conditions such as trauma, drowning.<unk><unk>  arrest is defined as the unexpected cessation of pumping blood into vital organs due to electrical disturbance in the pathway of SA node, AV node, His Purkinje fibers or<unk>  pumping failure due to cardiogenic shock, massive pulmonary thromboembolism,fulminant myocarditis, ruptured left ventricular free wall. Without any intervention for immediate restoration of the circulation, biologic death will happen minutes to weeks after<unk>  arrest.<unk><unk>  death is responsible for 50% of<unk>  death annually in the united state. In-hospital<unk>  arrest happens in 290,000 adults every year in the united states. The most common cause of<unk><unk>  death is coronary artery disease and atherosclerosis process. The presence of underlying disorders such as malignancy or liver disease at the time of<unk>  arrest makes the condition worse. Patients with acute myocardial infarction and in-hospital<unk>  arrest with shockable rhythm have a better prognosis. Post cardiopulmonary resuscitation state management should be focused on neurologic complications, hemodynamic stability, and respiratory support.
