Resuscitation after cardiac arrest: a 3-phase time-sensitive model.

suggests a lower incidencerate, about 184000 cardiac arrests per year, as well as a de-creasing proportion of cardiac arrests with ventricular fi-brillation (VF) as the first identified rhythm.Current International Liaison Committee on Resuscita-tion (ILCOR) guidelines promulgate rhythm-based thera-piesduringcardiacarrest.
