  2. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiopulmonary_resuscitation

    Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is an emergency procedure consisting of chest compressions often combined with artificial ventilation, or mouth to mouth in an effort to manually preserve intact brain function until further measures are taken to restore spontaneous blood circulation and breathing in a person who is in cardiac arrest.

  3. LUCAS device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LUCAS_device

    The LUCAS can be used both in and out of the hospital setting. [6] [7] The 2015 European Resuscitation Council Guidelines for Resuscitation does not recommend using mechanical chest compression on a routine basis, but are good alternative for situations where it may be difficult or to maintain continuous high-quality compressions, or when it may be too strenuous on the medic to do so. [8]

  4. History of cardiopulmonary resuscitation - Wikipedia

    The team — which included William Kouwenhoven, Guy Knickerbocker, and James Jude — noticed that by forcefully applying the paddles to the chest of the canine test subject, they could achieve a pulse in the femoral artery. Further experimentation on dogs addressed such questions as the ideal location, rate, and force of chest compressions.

  5. Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extracorporeal...

    Chest compressions were commenced within 10 minutes; The cardiac arrest duration (collapse to arrival at E&TC [ambiguous]) has been < 60 minutes; The patient is aged between 12 and 70 years; There are no major co-morbidities that would preclude return to independent living; The patient is profoundly hypothermic (<32 °C) due to accidental exposure

  6. Xiphoid process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiphoid_process

    During chest compressions in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), it is possible to fracture or dislodge the xiphoid process, potentially leading to punctures or lacerations of the diaphragm. Furthermore, inadvertent liver puncture resulting in life-threatening internal bleeding can occur.

  7. Return of spontaneous circulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_of_spontaneous...

    There are multiple factors during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillation that are associated with success of achieving return of spontaneous circulation. . One of the factors in CPR is the chest compression fraction, which is a measure of how much time during cardiac arrest are chest compressions perfor

  8. Basic life support - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_Life_Support

    CPR involves a rescuer or bystander providing chest compressions to a patient in a supine position while also giving rescue breaths. The rescuer or bystander can also choose not to provide breaths and provide compression-only CPR. Depending on the age and circumstances of the patient, there can be variations in the compression to breath ratio ...

  9. AutoPulse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AutoPulse

    The compression depth and force varies per patient. The chest displacement equals a 20% reduction in the anterior-posterior chest depth. The physiological duty cycle is 50%, and it runs in a 30:2, 15:2 or continuous compression mode, which is user-selectable, at a rate of 80 compressions-per-minute.
