Mechanical V. Manual CPR
Mechanical CPR has become a hot button topic in the emergency medical field. CPR alone is unlikely to restart the heart; its main purpose is to restore partial flow of oxygenated blood to the brain and heart. “Victims of cardiac arrest require rapid and effective chest compressions for an optimal chance of successful defibrillation and to decrease the likihood of neurological deficit (Nolan et al 2005).” Chest compressions by the rescuer artificially produce a blood flow by manually compressing the victim’s chest maintaining cerebral and coronary perfusion. “Inadequately performed chest compressions might compromise patient survival (Van Hoeyweghen et al 1993)” …show more content…
