Film and television producers frequently use CPR because it attracts an audience&#46; When TV physicians firmly grasp their defibrillator paddles and administer a high-voltage shock to the subject&#39;s chest&#44;

Generally&#44; they have short terms of validity and they require updates and new courses for certification &#40;an essential requirement in many hospitals and health institutions to be able to work&#41;&#46; It is necessary to clarify that&#44; during these courses&#44; the theme of ethics or the deleterious effects of CPR are rarely touched on&#46; Emphasis is made&#44; solely&#44; on the technique&#58; chest compressions&#44; ventilation&#44; intubation and defibrillation&#46; This is much more showy and commercial&#46; The message conveyed by these courses is that one should attempt to resuscitate with good technique&#44; no matter the patient&#46;</p><p id="par0080" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The reasons presented above have probably contributed&#44; to a greater or lesser extent&#44; to the great social acceptance and integration of CPR&#44;
