Mechanical chest compressions versus manual chest compressions for cardiac arrest

Mechanical chest compression for out of hospital cardiac arrest: Systematic review and meta-analysis

“…Because of the inclusion of recent large trials in this review, our conclusions can be firmer than those of the most recent update of the Cochrane review. 7 They also differ from those of another recent review and meta-analysis, 19 which found, mainly from observational evidence, an improvement in the odds of ROSC with mechanical chest compression.…”

Do Mechanical Chest Compression Devices Compared With High-Quality Manual Chest Compressions Improve Neurologically Intact Survival of Patients Who Experience Cardiac Arrest?

“…Two previous reviews concluded there was insufficient evidence from high-quality randomized controlled trials to determine whether mechanical compression devices optimize outcomes. 17,18 This current metaanalysis found that mechanical compression devices are not associated with improved patient outcomes compared with high-quality manual compressions. Mechanical devices may be useful in situations in which consistent, high-quality compressions are not possible or are dangerous for providers.…”

Comparison between manual and mechanical chest compressions during resuscitation in a pediatric animal model of asphyxial cardiac arrest

“…Some clinical studies have suggested that the quality of CPR is also better with mechanical devices because they provide deeper compressions, CPR remains stable and there are fewer interruptions [ 11 ]. Other studies showed higher return of spontaneous circulation and survival to hospital discharge with mechanical chest compressions but did not reach statistical significance [ 14 ].…”
