AbstractPatients who suffer an in-hospital cardiac arrest represent a neglected and underutilized resource for resuscitation research. There exists an unwritten, but widely held, belief among resuscitation researchers that the in-hospital arrest population is unsuitable for resuscitation research because it is composed mostly of patients whose cardiac arrest is the terminal event of a fatal illness. Despite the large numbers of hospitalized patients on whom cardiac resuscitation is attempted each year, there are few reports and even less true research devoted to this clinical problem. This article, which is intended to be provocative, reviews and summarizes the existing literature on in-hospital resuscitation from cardiac arrest, considers the advantages of resuscitation research in this setting, and concludes with a challenge to resuscitation researchers.
