Automatic mechanical ventilation feasible and comparable to manual ventilation method during CPR: Study
The effectiveness of mechanical ventilation as a replacement for manual bag ventilation during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) remains uncertain. A recent pilot randomized controlled trial aimed to assess the feasibility and comparability of automatic mechanical ventilation versus manual bag ventilation during CPR for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients.
This study was published in the CHEST journal by Jonghwan Shin and colleagues. Manual bag ventilation is a standard method used during CPR, but it can be labor-intensive and inconsistent. The potential for automatic mechanical ventilation to provide reliable and efficient ventilation during CPR is of interest, but its feasibility and effectiveness require further investigation.
