Automated CPR

■The problem with standard CPR is that it provides only 1/3 of normal blood supply to the brain and 10 to 20% to the heart.

■Although defibrillation is the definitive treatment for ventricular fibrillation, its success is dependent on effective CPR.

■Providing CPR manually  in moving ambulance is very difficult. It may harm the patient and paramedics.

■Manual CPR is very exhausting practice.

Quality of CPR cannot be assured.
