A recent study finds that the chances of surviving a cardiac arrest outside a hospital setting are twice as high if bystanders perform chest-compression-only resuscitation instead of traditional ...

Automatic chest compression devices are routinely used on Earth by doctors in restricted environments such as emergency helicopter, or where prolonged CPR needs to be carried out over a longer period ...

Well, when it comes to delivering more effective CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation)—CPR that can save lives—results from a new study in the journal, Resuscitation, point to data indicating that ...

The main objetive was to compare 30:2 and 15:2 compression-to-ventilation ratio in two simulated pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) models with single rescuer. The secondary aim was to ...

During cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, the interruption of manual chest compressions for rescue breathing reduces blood flow and possibly survival.

Standard cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) includes chest compressions and mechanical/manual ventilation aiming at restoring spontaneous circulation and maintaining gas exchange. The level of ...

Two large-scale studies report that the chances of surviving cardiac arrest are no better -- and may be worse -- when bystanders perform mouth-to-mouth breathing than if they press on the chest ...

The keys to effective resuscitation in the hospital setting include effective compression and early defibrillation, a hospitalist told colleagues. She also urged them to consider mechanical piston ...

REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Physio-Control, Inc., the world’s leading provider of professional emergency response solutions, announced today that the main results of the large randomized LINC ...

New research has found that a type of automatic chest compression is more effective to carry out CPR in space than the ‘handstand method’ that is currently recommended in emergency protocols for ...
