  • How does the side of approach impact the force delivered during external chest compression?

    2021, American Journal of Emergency Medicine
    Citation Excerpt :

    Consistent with the 2010 guidelines, the 2015 American Heart Association (AHA) Guidelines Update for CPR and ECC suggest positioning the hands on the lower half of the sternum for ECC in adults [12]. During chest compression, the heel of one hand should be placed atop the contact hand, and the hands should be interlocked to ensure that pressure is not applied over the ribs [13]. In the diagrams in the 2010 AHA and the 1992 European Resuscitation Council (ERC) guidelines, the rescuer is standing on the patient's left side, and his right hand is placed on the chest [14].

  • Does lying in the recovery position increase the likelihood of not delivering cardiopulmonary resuscitation?

    2017, Resuscitation
    Citation Excerpt :

    Current CPR guidelines13 endorse the head tilt and chin lift (HTCL) technique as the ideal way to initially assess breathing and recovery position (RP)13,21 as the recommended position to place out-of-hospital unresponsive and normally breathing victims in because of the lack of demonstrated associated risk. However, the evidence available to support this is weak and mainly historical22–32, from before the development of mobile telephony, when the person who had to alert the emergency medical services (EMS) was forced to abandon the victim to request help. Nowadays, with the spread of mobile phone lines33,34 around the world (in 2014 the number of mobile phones equaled the world's population), the situation has changed.

  • Are Chinese Students Willing to Learn and Perform Bystander Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation?

    2016, Journal of Emergency Medicine
    Citation Excerpt :

    These two factors lead to low survival rates and poor outcomes in China. CPR training has been brought into schools in many countries, enhancing the training rate significantly (10−12). Knowing CPR and its procedures not only decreases the anxiety of students, but also increases the likelihood they will perform CPR (13,14).
