AB KEY  POINTSThe  goal  of  the  first  5  minutes  of  resuscitation  is  to  establish  conditions  in  which  resuscitation  can  be  effectively  carried  out,  identify  immediate  life  threats,  and  initiate  stabilizing  therapies.Cardiac  arrest  must  be  recognized  immediately,  and  may  be  missed  in  unresponsive  or  intubated  patients  unless  specifically  sought.The  four  signs  of  airway  embarrassment  are  change  in  voice,  stridor,  mishandling  of  secretions,  and  airway  posturing.Point-of-care  sonography  is  indicated  early  in  the  management  of  all  patients.Blood  pressure  is  the  most  basic  proxy  for  tissue  perfusion;  however,  a  more  reliable  indicator  of  successful  resuscitation  is  end-organ  function.
