Chest Compression-induced Vertebral Fractures
Chest, 1986Two cases with chest compression-induced thoracolumbar transvertebral fractures are discussed. This is a previously unreported complication of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Dorsal kyphosis and osteopenia were present in both of these cases. There was no spinal cord injury documented, though the potential for injury and paraplegia exists.

Abstract 17253: Chest Compression Hemodynamics are Dependent on Chest Compression Rate
Circulation, 2015Introduction: The mechanisms through which chest compressions (CC) generate blood flow remain controversial. The thoracic pump model is CC rate insensitive in the range 60 - 150 compressions per minute (cpm) but is sensitive to change in CC duty cycle with the prediction that increasing duty cycle would result in a modest, but ...

Chest compression-only cardiocerebral resuscitation
Current Opinion in Critical Care, 2009Conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) by bystanders with chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth ventilation has been documented to save life. Nevertheless, despite four decades of promulgation, it is a serious problem that the majority of bystanders are unwilling or unable to perform conventional CPR.

Right ventricle chest compressions
2017The use of chest compressions in patients with left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) have been viewed to cause a potential damage to the outflow graft and hence have been a topic of controversy. We report a case of a LVAD patient who needed chest compressions during resuscitation for severe right ventricular failure.

The concept of “external cardiac massage,” first introduced in the early 1960s by Kouwenhoven, Jude, and Knickerbocker (1), includes chest compressions at a rate of 60 to 100 per minute in conjunction with mouth-to-mouth rescue breathing (2). Refinements of standard cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) since its introduction in the 1960s have included ...

Chest compression pauses during defibrillation attempts
Current Opinion in Critical Care, 2016This article summarizes current knowledge of the causes and consequences of interruption of chest compressions during cardiopulmonary resuscitation.Pauses in chest compressions occur during analysis of the heart rhythm, delivery of ventilation, interventions such as intubation, and gaining intravenous access, but pauses may also be unprompted.

Radiological assessment of the adult chest: Implications for chest compressions
Resuscitation, 2006The recommended depth for chest compression during adult cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is 4-5 cm, and for children one-third the anterior-posterior (AP) chest diameter. A compression depth of one-third of the AP chest diameter has also been suggested for adult CPR.
