Manual pressure augmentation for defibrillation in cardiac arrest
Manual pressure augmentation (MPA) involves an operator wearing gloves pushing down on the sternal and apical patches at the time of energy delivery using either a clenched fist or open palm Potential effects of MPA Numerous studies have recently reported…
Extracorporeal CPR in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a leading cause of mortality and disability worldwide. Despite the progress in the field of resuscitation, survival in patients treated with conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (basic life support and advanced life support) remains very low (<10%).…
