Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Brief Summary   Continuous chest compressions are an important and indispensable part of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and has been shown to enhance survival. However the quality of the chest compressions provided by the rescuer is often variable and not only depends on the physical built of the rescuer but also on the positioning of the patient. Also the quality of the chest compressions decline with increasing time of CPR, often requiring change of rescuer every 2 minutes. The AutoPulse® Resuscitation System (ZOLL Circulation) is a battery operated load distributing band (LDB) circumferential chest compression device. AutoPulse® provides mechanical chest compressions utilizing an electrically actuated constricting band on a short backboard. Although it has been mentioned in the CPR 2010 guidelines, but data regarding its usefulness in CPR is still equivocal. Therefore we propose an investigator initiated randomised comparison of mechanically assisted CPR using AutoPulse® (A-CPR) with conventional CPR involving manual chest compressions (M-CPR).
