Summary

The effort to resuscitate dying individuals goes back to ancient history and the Bible [1,2]. Resuscitation in the Middle Ages was forbidden, but later during the Renaissance, any prohibition against performing cardiac and pulmonary resuscitation was challenged, which finally led to the Enlightenment, where scholars attempted to scientifically solve the problem of sudden death [2].
