Chest compression on CPR and active abdominal on CPR / 中华危重病急救医学

ABSTRACT

Chest compression cannot be effectively applied under certain situations, such as chest wall deformity, rib fracture, or hemopneumothorax. Active abdominal compression-decompression cardiopulmonary resuscitation (AACD-CPR) could reach better resuscitation outcomes in certain cardiac arrest (CA) patients. AACD-CPR can strengthen the high quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in "2015 American Heart Association for cardiopulmonary resuscitation and emergency cardiovascular care update guide". The two methods can complement each other in opposite direction, and implement the "2016 national consensus on cardiopulmonary resuscitation on CPR in China", which is an important part of the wisdom to the Chinese CPR. In the article, we compared chest compression in standard single rescuer cardiopulmonary resuscitation (STD-CPR) and AACD-CPR with their aspects of the cause, mechanism, methods and application. We will provide an important reference about techniques of STD-CPR and AACD-CPR.
