Mechanical Versus Manual Chest Compression

Completed

• Conditions: Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation; Cardiac Arrest
• Interventions: Device: LUCAS™ 2 Chest Compression System; Other: Manuel chest compressions by human efforts

• Registration Number: NCT04069377
• Lead Sponsor: Ankara City Hospital Bilkent

Brief Summary

In this study, the investigators compared mechanical and manual chest compressions in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest cases.

Detailed Description

In this study, the investigators retrospectively analyzed resuscitations performed over a 2-year period and compared manual and mechanical chest compressions in terms of return of spontaneous circulation, 30-day survival, and hospital discharge parameters.
