description The medical emergency team working in the province of Zamora attended, in the last four years, 49 patients with diagnosis of cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA). After cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) maneuvers, 26 patients resulted in return of spontaneous circulation. Psychological support to relatives was providded through emotional and physical closeness and they also were helped, when it was nececessary, with bureaucratic paperwork. A descriptive longitudinal observational study has been carried out with the variables of sex, age and survival in the population over 65 in Zamora who was attended by medical emergency team between 2016 and 2019, whose diagnosis was CPA. Assistance to patients with cardiorespiratory arrest is complex and variable, sometimes leading to death. After the death of a person a set of physical, emotional and social reactions occur, that can range from the feeling of sadness to complete desolation. When the words are left over or we don’t find the right ones, it is useful to use hug therapy. We must be prepared to be able to perform both advanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) maneuvers and to provide psychological support in these situations. Being old does not mean that it hurts less to lose a loved one or that we are prepared. Helping to face this moment of loss both emotionally and bureaucratically should be part of all CPR protocols as one more maneuver.
