Relieving Laryngospasm in Kids Via Chest Compressions

Compressions were given at 20-25 compressions per minute at half the pressure used for cardiopulmonary resuscitation. This relieved the laryngospasm after 10-15 s, and breathing resumed. Child never ...

Neonatal resuscitation with continuous chest compressions and high frequency percussive ventilation in preterm lambs

Cerebral oxygen delivery (cDO 2) is low during chest compressions (CC). We hypothesized that gas exchange and cDO 2 are better with continuous CC with high frequency percussive ventilation (CCC + HFPV ...

Cardiac arrest in space: New research shows that automatic chest compressions are more effective for CPR when both rescuer and patient are floating in microgravity

New research has found that a type of automatic chest compression is more effective to carry out CPR in space than the ‘handstand method’ that is currently recommended in emergency protocols for ...
