Comparison of Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation with Conventional Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: Is Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Beneficial?

BACKGROUND With improvements in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) techniques, the quality and the effectiveness of CPR have been established; nevertheless, the survival rate after cardiac arrest still remains poor. Recently, many reports have shown good outcomes in cases where extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) was used during prolonged CPR. Accordingly, we attempted to evaluate the i...

Cardiocerebral resuscitation: the new cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

This article reviews research that shows that cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) as it has been practiced and as it is presently taught and advocated is far from optimal. The International Guidelines 2000 for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care, hereafter referred to as “Guidelines 2000,” were evidence based.2 During their formulation, the greatest weight of evidenc...

Recent advances in cardiopulmonary resuscitation: cardiocerebral resuscitation.

Cardiocerebral resuscitation (CCR) is a new approach for resuscitation of patients with cardiac arrest. It is composed of 3 components: 1) continuous chest compressions for bystander resuscitation; 2) a new emergency medical services (EMS) algorithm; and 3) aggressive post-resuscitation care. The first 2 components of CCR were first instituted in 2003 in Tucson, Arizona; in 2004 in the Rock and...

Complications of cardiopulmonary resuscitation

Aim. In 1960, Kouwenhoven observed that forceful chest compressions can produce arterial pulses. At following years cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) continually advanced. Right now experts at the International Guidelines 2000 Conference strongly recommended development of inschool CPR programs as a primary educational strategy to ensure wide-spread learning of CPR. Rib and sternum fractures ...
