title: [Resuscitation].
abstract: The factor "time" is probably the greatest enemy in a situation of cardio-respiratory arrest; rapid recognition and competent management are the duty of any physician, in the future eventually also of paramedical or even of non-professional persons. In a short overview the diagnostic and practical procedures of reanimation are repeated. Finally the chances for and results of resuscitated patients are discussed.
