Materials and Methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, from September 2016 to March 2017, 199 patients who suffered from cardio-pulmonary arrest and underwent CPR from emergency department and wards of hospitals affiliated to Zahedan University of Medical Sciences were evaluated by available method. Data were collected through using a researcher-made checklist and analyzed by SPSS software. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data.

The underlying causes associated with internal diseases with the prevalence of23.6% were at the top of the table for the cause of cardio-pulmonary arrest. Also, 37.7% of the resuscitation was successful. No significant relationship was found between the cause of cardiopulmonary arrest and CPR. Finally, four percent of the people were discharged from the hospital alive.
