Cardiac arrest in space: Research shows that automatic chest compressions are more effective for CPR
Earth-based chest compressions during CPR are based on the rescuer's weight, which does not exist in microgravity. As a result, over the last 30 years, researchers have searched for alternative ...
During these floaty interludes, the team tested manual CPR and three types of automatic chest compression devices. Such devices aren't very well known to the general public, but they're standard ...
New research has found a more effective way to conduct cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in microgravity, which causes the weightlessness astronauts experience in space. The study found that a type ...
New research has found that a type of automatic chest compression is more effective to carry out CPR in space than the ‘handstand method’ that is currently recommended in emergency protocols for ...
If an astronaut suffered a sudden cardiac arrest in space, could their life be saved? The US National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the European Society for Aerospace Medicine have plans in ...
