Diagnosis Cardiovascular arrest triggers a series of distinctive physical changes. Logically, when the heart is not pumping, no more pulses can be felt. This happens especially in large arteries such as the carotid artery (Arteria carotis) and the femoral artery (Arteria femoralis) in the groin. A few seconds later unconsciousness usually occurs, followed by gasping … Diagnosis | Cardiac arrest
Prognosis The most important prognostic factor is how quickly after the onset of cardiac arrest resuscitation measures are started, which is often the responsibility of medical laypersons who happen to be present at the situation or find the patient unconscious and pulseless, and should then intervene boldly, but in practice this is often omitted for … Prognosis | Cardiac arrest
