Chest Compressions Synchronized to Native Cardiac Contractions are More Effective than Unsynchronized Compressions for Improving Coronary Perfusion Pressure in a Novel Pseudo-PEA Swine Model
Synchronized chest compressions increased CPP 4.0 mm Hg (135%) more than unsynchronized compressions despite a lower compression rate in medication-induced pseudo-PEA. Further refinement and eventual application to patients suffering pseudo-PEA arrest appear warranted.
