English
Authors' objectives:
The objective of the technology review was to review the efficacy and device performance of piston-type Mechanical Chest Compression (MCC) compared to manual cardio pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) or manual chest compression in patient with Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA)/ sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) or atraumatic cardiac arrest in Emergency Department with primary care team.
Authors' recommendations:
Based from the review, overall survival comparing manual with piston-type MCC showed that the clinical benefits of piston-type MCC is as good as compared to good manual chest compression during CPR for OHCA/SCA or atraumatic cardiac arrest. RR= 0.41, 95% CI 0.21 to 0.79 In addition, there are several large randomised trials designed to answer the used and benefit of piston-type MCC in resuscitation field are currently under way, and these results are expected in the next two years.
