Up-Down Hand Position Switch May Delay the Fatigue of Non-Dominant Hand Position Rescuers and Improve Chest Compression Quality during Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: A Randomized Crossover Manikin Study
Previous studies have shown improved external chest compression (ECC) quality and delayed rescuer fatigue when the dominant hand (DH) was in contact with the sternum. However, many rescuers prefer placing the non-dominant hand (NH) in contact with the sternum during ECC. We aimed to investigate the effects of up-down hand position switch on the quality of ECC and the fatigue of rescuers during ...
متن کاملExternal cardiac compression.
gives a welcome opportunity to discuss the use of external cardiac resuscitation by personnel of the Electricity Supply Industry. The dangers of this technique have been pointed out by Baringer et al. (1961) and by Clark (1962). As a result of the paper by Baringer and his colleagues, both the Lancet (1961) and the British Medical Journal (1961) carried leading articles counselling against the ...
متن کاملComparing Dominant and Non-Dominant Hand Performance with Force Changes In a Two-Hand Equilibrium Task: A Challenge to Dominant Hand Theories
Objective: Although most studies believe that the dominant hand performs better than the non-dominant hand in performing various tasks, there is still the challenge among researchers as to why the non-dominant hand performs better than the dominant hand in certain situations and tasks. The aim of this study was to compare dominant and non-dominant hand performance with force changes in a two-ha...
متن کاملAutomatic External Cardiac Massage: a Portable Pneumatic External Cardiac Compression Machine.
Massage or manual compression of the heart is accepted as a useful procedure when heart action has ceased because of accident or temporarily disordered function. Experience in the operating theatre has shown that manual massage through the open chest should be maintained for over an hour before being abandoned, but the procedure is tiring, and the operator must be relieved at frequent intervals...

rupture owing to high pressure or damage to the septa the air passes through the lower-pressure alveolar sheaths to the mediastinum via the lung roots. Passage of air from the mediastinum to the neck or retroperitoneal space tends to decompress the mediastinum. The appearance of subcutaneous emphysema in the neck in respiratory disorders usually indicates the presence of a pneumomediastinum. In...
