M-CPR Overview
The paucity of evidence from randomised control trials and subsequent cochrane review does not appear to have stopped the increasing uptake of these devices. Our take is M-CPR don’t seem worse than human CPR intuitively and there are some major advantages:
- Safety (of providers in hospital and more importantly while transporting patients in an ambulance)
- Prolonged Arrest – if you are going to go for a while the M-CPR guarantees effective CPR. Don’t set and forget though, be vigilant of the risk of iatrogenic injury.
- Team Factors – M-CPR brings a sense of calm and control to the resuscitation room and (without evidence) reduces the chaos of a cardiac arrest situation
