%0 Journal Article %T Comparison of continuous compression with regular ventilations versus 30:2 compressions-ventilations strategy during mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation in a porcine model of cardiac arrest %A Guanghui Zheng %A Longyuan Jiang %A Qing Lin %A Qingyu Liu %A Rui Chen %A Wanchun Tang %A Zhengfei Yang %A Zhifeng Liu %J SCIE-indexed Journal %D 2017 %R 10.21037/jtd.2017.08.167 %X Appropriate compression-ventilation (C:V) ratio is an important component of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), which plays a major role in the chain of survival for cardiac arrest (CA) victims (1). Since 2005, a C:V ratio of 30:2 is recommended by the American Heart Association (AHA) for adult CPR without advanced airway, with the purpose of improving hemodynamics by decreasing ˇ°hands-offˇ± time. Animal experiments and computer modeling have demonstrated that vital organ perfusion and resuscitation outcomes are superior with 30:2 ratio (2-5) %U http://jtd.amegroups.com/article/view/15543/html
