Chest Compressions in the Delivery Room [PDF]

open access: yesChildren, 2018
Annually, an estimated 13–26 million newborns need respiratory support and 2–3 million newborns need extensive resuscitation, defined as chest compression and 100% oxygen with or without epinephrine in the delivery room. Despite such care, there is a high incidence of mortality and neurologic morbidity.

Right Atrial and Ventricular Collapse After Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

open access: yesClinical Medicine Insights: Cardiology, 2021
Prompt and effective chest compressions is the cornerstone cardiopulmonary resuscitation and has been found to improve cardiac arrest outcomes. Despite being rare, a wide variety of cardiac and pulmonary complications due to chest compressions have been ...

Addition of Audiovisual Feedback During Standard Compressions Is Associated with Improved Ability

open access: yesWestern Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2018
Introduction: A benefit of in-hospital cardiac arrest is the opportunity for rapid initiation of “high-quality” chest compressions as defined by current American Heart Association (AHA) adult guidelines as a depth 2–2.4 inches, full chest recoil, rate ...

Technique for chest compressions in adult CPR

open access: yesWorld Journal of Emergency Surgery, 2011
Chest compressions have saved the lives of countless patients in cardiac arrest as they generate a small but critical amount of blood flow to the heart and brain. This is achieved by direct cardiac massage as well as a thoracic pump mechanism.

Can the British Heart Foundation PocketCPR Application Improve the Performance of Chest Compressions During Bystander Resuscitation: a Randomised Crossover Manikin Study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
This study aims to determine whether the British Heart Foundation (BHF) PocketCPR application can improve the depth and rate of chest compression, and therefore be confidently recommended for bystander use.

What is the potential for over-compression using current paediatric chest compression guidelines? — A chest computed tomography study

open access: yesResuscitation Plus, 2021
Aim: We explored the potential for over-compression from current paediatric chest compression depth guidelines using chest computed tomography(CT) images of a large, heterogenous, Asian population. Methods: A retrospective review of consecutive children,

Mechanical chest-compression devices: current and future roles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Purpose of review: It is recognised that the quality of CPR is an important predictor of outcome from cardiac arrest yet studies consistently demonstrate that the quality of CPR performed in real life is frequently sub-optimal.

Chest Compression Rate [PDF]

open access: yesCirculation, 2012
The first description of modern cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) included the instruction to compress the chest “about 60 times per minute”1; however, the optimal compression rate was unknown. Franz Koenig is credited with describing the original technique for external cardiac massage, which included a compression rate of 30 to 40 per minute.2 But ...

Comparison between manual and mechanical chest compressions during resuscitation in a pediatric animal model of asphyxial cardiac arrest. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Chest compressions (CC) during cardiopulmonary resuscitation are not sufficiently effective in many circumstances. Mechanical CC could be more effective than manual CC, but there are no studies comparing both techniques in children. The objective of this
