Abstract 17253: Chest Compression Hemodynamics are Dependent on Chest Compression Rate

Circulation, 2015
Introduction: 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 ...

Mechanical devices for chest compression

Current Opinion in Critical Care, 2015
The delivery of high-quality manual chest compressions is rarely achieved in practice. Mechanical chest compression devices can consistently deliver high-quality chest compressions. The recent publication of large prehospital trials of these devices provides important new information about the role of these devices.The Circulation Improving ...

The Efficacy of Chest Compressions in the Bell 407

Air Medical Journal, 2019
The Air Medical industry is fraught with obstacles to patient care and providers can recognize that several sub-groups of patients can provide very challenging scenarios while in flight. However, the patient experiencing cardiac arrest in flight is, by its very nature, one that poses the most severe risk to the patient and provider. This study seeks to

Mechanical chest compression in the PARAMEDIC trial

The Lancet, 2015
In the PARAMEDIC trial, Gavin Perkins and colleagues (March 14, p 947) did not identify any improvement in 30 day survival with the LUCAS-2 mechanical chest compression device compared with manual compressions for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Although their results are in accordance with previous studies, the use of mechanical chest compression ...

A new chest compression technique in infants

Medicina Intensiva (English Edition), 2019
To compare the quality of chest compressions performed according to the classical technique (MT) versus a new technique (NM) (compression with 2thumbs with closed fists) in an infant manikin.A controlled, randomized cross-over study was carried out in professionals assisting pediatric patients.A University Hospital with a Pediatric ICU in the north of ...

Enhancement and compression of digital chest radiographs

Journal of Thoracic Imaging, 1990
The application of digital technologies to chest radiography holds the promise of routine application of image processing techniques to effect image enhancement. Because of their inherent spatial resolution, however, digital chest images impose severe constraints on data storage devices.

Chest Compression-induced Vertebral Fractures

Chest, 1986
Two 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.

Impairment of cerebral bloodflow by chest compression

Forensic Science, 1977
A 5-year-old boy had his chest compressed by the moving belt of an escalator for about 10 to 15 minutes. The patient suffered seizures and was unconscious for eight months. The clinical and histological findings are reported, and compared with the findings of experiments on fatal chest compression in rabbits.
