A considerable portion of patients who died had relatively stable condition or cardiac 24 arrest after sudden exacerbation of the condition; thus, it is urgent to further strengthen the The cause of death from coronavirus pneumonia mainly included the following three categories 52 based on the currently available clinical study report: (1) Multiple organ failure: concurrent respiratory failure, circulatory failure, and renal failure, 54 particularly in elderly patients with underlying diseases. (2) Sudden cardiac arrest: sudden cardiac arrest although having stable vital signs (regardless of 56 organ function support); patient died after resuscitation failure. (3) Sudden exacerbation of condition: sudden exacerbation of symptoms during stable condition 58 or improvement of condition, including rapid deterioration of respiratory function, sudden 59 cardiac dysfunction, sudden circulatory failure, leading to cardiac arrest and death. should be taken as much as possible as to prevent the occurrence of cardiac arrest. (2) Recognition of other critical indicators for cardiac arrest as early as possible, e.g., septic 109 shock, renal failure, internal environment disturbance, fluid overload.
