Introduction
This EMS State of the Science supplement features articles that address key resuscitation issues.
Study Determines Optimal Chest Compression Rate
EMS providers have long been told to “push hard, push fast.” But how fast? Dr. Ahamed Idris details a study that attempted to find the ideal rate for chest compressions.
Trends & Changes in Cardiac Care
New recommendations and studies are showing areas where EMS can make a major impact on its ability to improve resuscitation outcomes.
Q&A with HeartRescue Project Manager Joan Mellor
HeartRescue Project partners plan to develop and expand SCA response systems by coordinating measurement, education, training and the application of evidence-based best practices.
The Merits of Mechanical CPR
Mechanical CPR devices hold promise for providing greater compression consistency and possibly better resuscitation outcomes.
Depth Perception
Research is proving that CPR compression depth is just as important as rates. Some devices that provide feedback about compression depth are inaccurate during certain conditions. A new technology from Physio-Control could alleviate this problem.
