2004 OCT 26 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Optimal CPR techniques for life support have been determined.
"Optimum cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for both basic and advanced cardiac life support depends on a compromise between the number of chest compressions delivered and the amount of ventilation provided," scientists in England explained.
In their study, I. Turner and coauthors at Papworth Hospital in Cambridge "used theoretical models of blood flow and both arterial and venous blood gas values to investigate the influence of different compression to ventilation ratios on CPR efficiency, as well as the effects of different inspired oxygen ...
