Excerpt
Experimental studies have shown improved organ perfusion with mechanical chest compression with the Lund Cardiac Arrest System (LUCAS) compared with conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Few data exist on the effects on clinical outcome. From September 2006 onwards, all out-of-hospital resuscitations for cardiac arrest in the Leiden area were performed using the LUCAS in combination with continuous flow insufflations of oxygen (CFI). We studied the effect of the LUCAS-CFI on the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) on arrival at the hospital compared with conventional CPR. …
