title: [Successful resuscitation and recovery of brain function].
abstract: After each circulation block which has been successfully resuscitated comes to post-resuscitation disease the seriousness of which depends on the duration of block. It is a specific pathophysiological condition of vital organs just after the ischemic anoxia. The brain is able to tolerate only four minutes of block without its damage and represents a factor limiting the success of cardiopulmocerebral resuscitation (CPCR). The present researches in resuscitology are concentrated towards the research of the chemical nature of endotoxins created during the ischemic affection of other organs which inflicts inversely the brain. Therefore the recovering of cerebral functions from the arrest of heart activity lasting more than five minutes is always problematic because it is already under the influence of existing changes in organ systems which follow after the reperfusion.
