Abstract: Cardiac arrest(CA)is a common serious clinical event. The high incidence and low survival rate make it one of the important public health problems in China. We urgently need to investigate the incidence, mortality and risk factors of cardiac arrest in Chinese population. Based on epidemiological data on cardiac arrest in China, early identification of cardiac arrest and early initiation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation can significantly improve outcomes of patients with in-hospital and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. The article summarizes the definition of cardiac arrest, the epidemiology, domestic and international gap and prospects of cardiac arrest in and out of hospital.
