Brief summary

In this study, the investigators compared mechanical and manual chest compressions in in-hospital cardiac arrest cases.

Detailed description

In this study, the investigators analyzed cardiopulmonary resuscitations performed over a 2-year period in an emergency department of a training and research hospital and compared success of manual and mechanical chest compressions in terms of return of spontaneous circulation, 30-day survival, and hospital discharge. Investigators present the study as an in-hospital cardiac arrest study; however, all of the resuscitation performed in the cases included in the study were performed in the emergency department.

Interventions

OTHERManuel chest compressions handled by clinicians

Compressions will be handled by human efforts
