Sažetak

It is recognized that the quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is an important predictor of outcome from cardiac
arrest. Mechanical chest-compression devices provide an alternative to manual CPR. Physiological and animal data suggest
that mechanical chest-compression devices are more effective than manual CPR. Consequently, there has been much
interest in the development of new techniques and devices to improve the efficacy of CPR. This review will consider the
evidence and current indications for the use of some of the more common mechanical devices developed to increase the
safety and efficacy of CPR administration.
