Summary |
Is it always right to be resuscitated?Mike Gale was dead for four minutes before being revived without any complications. But he is in the minority. CPR can be a brutal process - in hospital, the survival rate is around 15 per cent.Complicating matters - in many cases, doctors don't know how the patient feels about resuscitation. If they have formal documentation, it often can't be accessed in time, meaning they may be brought back to life against their wishes.Do the benefits outweigh the risks and can you decide your own fate? This week on Insight, we look at how people can re-claim this power, when it's wise to use CPR and when you're better off without it |
