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 ...

In 2010, the AHA revised the guidelines on cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and increased the recommended depth of chest compression from ≥38 mm to ≥50 mm, with no upper limit defined. Now, the ...

New research has found a more effective way to conduct cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in microgravity, which causes the weightlessness astronauts experience in space. The study found that a type ...

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, ...

Editor’s note: This article is part of a special supplement, “EMS State of the Science: Important advances in prehospital cardiac care and resuscitation,” published in our sister publication JEMS. To ...

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 ...
