Cochrane reviews
- Active chest compression-decompression in patients with cardiac arrest is not associated with any benefit compared with standard cardiopulmonary resuscitation .
- Induction of mild hypothermia reduces in-hospital mortality and improves neurological outcomes after cardiac arrest .
Other evidence summaries
- Bystander CPR, early defibrillation (< 6 min) by basic emergency medical technicians and advanced life support improve survival in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest .
- Rapid defibrillation by non-medical personnel using an automated external defibrillator can improve survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest .
- The benefits of Laryngeal mask airway include increased speed and reliability of placement by inexperienced personnel at resuscitation, haemodynamic stability, less coughing and sore throat. Its disadvantage is an increased likelihood of leak and gastric insufflation .
