REASEL and the Latin American Council for Resuscitation in Special Situations bring together work involving Rafael Eduardo Herrera-Elizalde. This collection includes one sole-authored and three coauthored publications on cardiac arrest in the operating room, CPR quality, maternal resuscitation and decisions after ROSC. The articles are part of the section Cardiopulmonary resuscitation of the proceedings published by Revista Mexicana de Anestesiología.
This collection brings together contributions on responding to cardiac arrest in the operating room: organizing the chain of survival, coordinating the team, the pregnancy context and decisions after ROSC. Each page identifies the original publication and provides access to its full text. Explore each work’s contribution and limitations before applying it in practice.
Proposes a chain of survival adapted to the perioperative environment, where arrest is usually witnessed and monitored and requires integrating resuscitation, diagnosis and correction of the cause.
Defines the CPR Coach’s role in protecting the mechanical quality of CPR while clinical leadership focuses on diagnosing and treating the causes.
Addresses modifications to maternal CPR and simultaneous coordination of the maternal–anesthesia, obstetric and neonatal teams.
Structures the individualized decision to continue or stop surgery after arrest according to reversibility, hemodynamic stability, urgency and risk of recurrence.
Verifiable source and identity. The publication pages and full texts link to the official Medigraphic record. ORCID distinguishes Rafael Eduardo Herrera-Elizalde’s work from authors with similar names.
