To the Editor: Cardiac output during standard manual cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is 30 to 60 percent of the normal value¹. A study in animals² demonstrated improved systemic blood flow and increased coronary perfusion pressure during active compression-decompression CPR. In humans, a significantly higher systolic arterial pressure has been measured during active compression-decompression CPR than during standard CPR³. The newer technique produces negative intrathoracic pressure during the decompression phase, thereby improving venous return and transmitral left ventricular filling^1,2,3 [see Cohen et al. elsewhere in this issue].

In an adult patient undergoing prolonged CPR after nearly drowning, we monitored aortic-valve . . . [Full Text of this Article]
