When performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation in a hospital bed, getting into the bed or leaning on the bed optimizes the working position. In the hospital setting, working position such as lowering a ...

Until now, not much research had been done to find the best CPR methods from data that accounted for both compression rate and chest depth. Now, new data gives some exciting new answers. Sep 25, 2019 ...

New research has identified the optimal combination of chest compression rate (CCR) and chest compression depth (CCD) when performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to improve survival rates. A ...

In the second report, Benjamin S. Abella, M.D., M.Phil., of the University of Chicago Hospitals, Chicago, and colleagues conducted a study to determine whether well-trained hospital staff perform CPR ...

Don't fret about mouth-to-mouth. The average, untrained person can still save a life by focusing on chest compressions first. In fact, that's the recommendation of new guidelines from the American ...

An international study reviewed methods of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in an attempt to answer the question: is there a ‘best’ combination of frequency and depth of chest compression that will ...

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 ...

An international research consortium was able to identify what is likely an optimal combination of chest compression frequency and depth when performing CPR. An international research consortium, ...
