Title: Are Mechanical Compression Devices Useful For In- Hospital Cardiac Arrest?

Category: Procedures

Keywords: inhospital cardiac arrest, manual compression devices (PubMed Search)

Posted: 4/23/2023 by Robert Flint, MD (Updated: 7/21/2026)

This is a review of the literature surrounding using mechanical compression devices for in-hospital cardiac arrest. The bottom line is there isn’t much evidence to support the use of these devices and there is scant literature in general on this topic. This is an area in need of further research
