Podcast 567: Mechanical CPR….Not So Fast

Contributor: Aaron Lessen, MD

Educational Pearls:

  • Mechanical CPR (machine assisted compression devices) remains a hot topic of debate in emergency medicine
  • Machine assisted CPR has been advocated to provide more consistent compressions in cardiac arrest and free up staff for other tasks.
  • However, multiple studies have shown mechanical CPR provides no significant survival benefit yet increased rates of injury to the chest and abdomen from the devices.
  • Unless a clear benefit can be found, mechanical CPR devices should not routinely replace traditional CPR in most situations
  • For prolonged transport as well as resource-limited settings, these devices still may provide the only option for sustained resuscitations
