Background: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains a leading cause of global mortality, and high-quality chest compressions are essential for patient survival. Mechanical chest compression devices were developed to overcome the limitations of manual cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), but their effectiveness remains debated. Objectives: This systematic review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and clinical outcomes of mechanical versus manual chest compressions in OHCA and selected in-hospital settings. Methods: A systematic search of PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library was conducted for studies published between 2005 and 2024. Eligible studies included randomized controlled trials, registry analyses, cohort studies, and meta-analyses comparing mechanical and manual chest compressions. Outcomes of i.. Read More»
