Through this retrospective observational study (over 4 years; period analysed: 1st January 2011 to 31st December 2014), we looked for prognostic factors associated with better survival in refractory cardiac arrest by: * assessing the overall survival rate * evaluating the frequency of intra et extra-hospital events and by comparing these with the survival rate * studying no flow, low flow, rhythm at initial management, troponinemia, lactatemia and blood pH in the different groups.
