Abstract

The article discusses the use of an automated load-distributing band-cardiopulmonary resuscitation device (LDB-CPR) for resuscitating patients who have out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). The study was designed for a patient population serviced by an urban emergency medical services (EMS) system that switched from manual CPR. Outcome measures included return to spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and survival to hospital discharge. Research methods for the study in Richmond, Virginia are mentioned. The authors found improved survival when the LDB-CPR device was used on EMS ambulances.
