Kurzbeschreibung/Zielsetzung

Autoresuscitation is the phenomenon of spontaneous return of circulation after cessation of CPR, also known as the Lazarus syndrome or phenomenon. Most of the evidence is based on case reports and a few systematic reviews, which focus on the mechanisms leading to autoresuscitation or the timing of it.
The occurrence of autoresuscitation may lead to self-reproach and dismay in affected emergency
personnel and may rise questions about the correct procedure after termination of resuscitation. In contrast to existing cardiac arrest guidelines there is no standardized approach for the management of terminating resuscitative attempts. This case report highlights the necessity to establish a guideline not only for the termination of resuscitation attempts (TRA) but also for the procedures after TRA-decision.
