DOI: 10.1186/s13049-018-0496-z
Abstract: BackgroundExperimental active compression-decompression (ACD) CPR is associated with increased haemodynamic outcomes compared to standard mechanical chest compressions. Since no clinically available mechanical chest compression device is capable of ACD-CPR, we modified the LUCAS 2 (Physio-Control,… read more here.
