There is no good place to suffer cardiac arrest. But if you do, a hospital is obviously one location where quick treatment is likely to increase the chances of recovery. As described in two
papers in The New England Journal of Medicine, certain casinos in Nevada and Mississippi, and some airlines, also make recovery a better bet.
The type of cardiac arrest concerned is that caused by ventricular fibrillation, in which contraction of heart-muscle fibres becomes uncoordinated. The key to treatment is the use of
defibrillating equipment, and swiftly: with each minute that passes, the possibility of recovery falls rapidly.
