Summary

In this study, the investigators compared mechanical and manual chest compressions in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest cases.

Detailed description

In this study, the investigators retrospectively analyzed resuscitations performed over a 2-year period and compared manual and mechanical chest compressions in terms of return of spontaneous circulation, 30-day survival, and hospital discharge parameters.

Conditions

• Cardiac Arrest
• Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	LUCAS™ 2 Chest Compression System	LUCAS is a portable device designed to rule out the problems encountered during manual chest compression, capable of performing standard and continuous chest compressions at a depth of 4-5 cm and at least 100 times per minute.
