Abstract
Administration of stroma-free crosslinked hemoglobin during standard cardiac pulmonary resuscitation procedures enhances return of spontaneous circulation following electrical defibrillation. The difficulty in restoring spontaneous circulation directly correlates with a generally poor prognosis in cases of cardiac arrest. The therapeutic effect of hemoglobin as an adjunct to conventional treatment may thereby improve survival.
