[The experience of paramedical personnel in the cardiopulmonary resuscitation of acute cardiac patients].

The cardiac stop as well as the severe despondency of the respiratory function in the recoverable patients is a major medical urgency which causes the immediate death of the patient if efficient measures of cardiorespiratory resuscitation are not correctly and rapidly taken. The authors describe in detail the measures to be taken in such situations, presenting the experience of the medical and nursing staff in the coronary intensive care unit of the Medical Clinic III, in the Clinical Hospital of Bucharest. It is underlined the fact that due to the nature of their tasks, the nursing staff have an essential contribution within the "team work" of the coronary intensive care units.
