The Effect of Compressor-Administered Defibrillation on Peri-shock Pauses in a Simulated Cardiac Arrest Scenario

Western Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2014
Introduction: Coordination of the tasks of performing chest compressions and defibrillation can lead to communication challenges that may prolong time spent off the chest.

A systematic review of neuroprotective strategies after cardiac arrest: from bench to bedside (Part I - Protection via specific pathways). [PDF]

, 2014
Neurocognitive deficits are a major source of morbidity in survivors of cardiac arrest. Treatment options that could be implemented either during cardiopulmonary resuscitation or after return of spontaneous circulation to improve these neurological ...

Effect of Instituting Upper Limits for Chest Compression Depth for Laypersons at Six-months After Chest Compression-Only Training: A Randomized Controlled Simulation Study

International Journal of First Aid Education, 2020
Context/ research question: Chest compression quality plays a major role in patient outcomes after cardiac arrest. The Japanese cardiopulmonary resuscitation (JRC) guidelines 2015 indicatesthat chest compression depth should be approximately 5 cm but not

Are chest compressions safe for the patient reconstructed with sternal plates? Evaluating the safety of cardiopulmonary resuscitation using a human cadaveric model [PDF]

, 2010
Background Plate and screw fixation is a recent addition to the sternal wound treatment armamentarium. Patients undergoing cardiac and major vascular surgery have a higher risk of postoperative arrest than other elective patients.

Chest Compressions in Pediatric Patients With Continuous-Flow Ventricular Assist Devices: Case Series and Proposed Algorithm

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2022
Patients with continuous flow ventricular assist devices (CF-VAD's) in the systemic ventricle (left ventricle or single ventricle) often have no palpable pulses, unreliable pulse oximetry waveforms and non-pulsatile arterial waveforms despite hemodynamic

The effect of hand and body position on chest compression quality and rescuer fatigue in prone cardiopulmonary resuscitation

Resuscitation Plus
Aim: This study aimed to compare the quality of compressions in supine cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and prone CPR by performing chest compressions on a manikin.

Development and evaluation of a mechanical chest compression device for standardized rodent cardiopulmonary resuscitation

Scientific Reports
Small animal models are indispensable in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) research. High-quality CPR, characterized by consistent chest compression rate, depth, and positioning is crucial for survival. However, achieving standardization in manual high-

Straddle versus Conventional Chest Compressions in a Confined Space; a Comparative Study

Archives of Academic Emergency Medicine, 2020
Introduction: When cardiac arrest occurs in a confined space, such as in an aircraft or ambulance, kneeling by the patient’s side may be difficult. Straddle chest compression is an alternative technique that can be used in a confined space. This study was

Influence of Chest Compressions on Circulation during the Peri-Cardiac Arrest Period in Porcine Models. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
OBJECTIVE:Starting chest compressions immediately after a defibrillation shock might be harmful, if the victim already had a return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and yet was still being subjected to external compressions at the same time.

Deep Epicardial Laceration after Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: A Case Report

Rambam Maimonides Medical Journal, 2021
Effective chest compressions have been proven to be a key element in a successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). However, unintended injuries have been described in the medical literature for decades, including major intrathoracic injuries.
