Mechanical chest compressions with defibrillation during ongoing compressions are just as effective, but not superior to manual compressions, for delivering cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to ...

"The study was designed to show a better 4-hour survival in the group treated with mechanical chest compressions, and this was not achieved," said lead investigator Sten Rubertsson, MD, PhD, professor ...

In the event of cardiac arrest outside of a hospital it is important to provide effective chest compressions without interruption. Creating blood flow reduces the risk of brain damage and improves the ...

Researchers assessed whether cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in which chest compressions are delivered with a mechanical device would result in superior 4-hour survival in patients with ...

Lund, Sweden - In the February issue of Resuscitation Journal, a case series reports on good outcomes of in-hospital cardiac arrest patients that traditionally have a very poor survival prognosis, so ...

Chicago – Sten Rubertsson, M.D., Ph.D., of Uppsala University, Sweden and colleagues assessed whether cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in which chest compressions are delivered with a mechanical ...

Pushing on the chest to simulate the heart’s rhythmic pumping action is an essential part of cardiopulmonary resuscitation after cardiac arrest. In recent decades, manufacturers have developed several ...

CHICAGO — A randomized comparison of mechanical vs manual compressions for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) shows no advantage for mechanical CPR on 30-day survival. "On the basis of ours and other ...
