Kardiyopulmoner resüsitasyon esnasında etkin göğüs kompresyonu yapılan hastalar sekelsiz olarak hayata dönme şansları daha yüksektir. Bu amaçla bilim adamları mekanik göğüs kompresyon cihazları geliştirmişlerdir. Bu editöriyel yazıda manuel göğüs kompresyonu ile mekanik göğüs kompresyonlarının birbirlerine üstünlükleri ve güncel kılavuz önerilerinden bahsedilmiştir.

Patients who receive effective chest compressions during cardiopulmonary resuscitation have a higher chance of returning to life without sequelae. For this purpose, scientists have developed mechanical chest compression devices. In this editorial article, the advantages of manual chest compressions and mechanical chest compressions over each other and current guideline recommendations are discussed.
