] studied the utility of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in a dog model of hemorrhagic
shock. They found that chest compressions in addition to fluid administration did
not reverse signs of shock better than fluid alone. They recommended that further
research is needed to define if there is a role of CPR in the trauma patient with
hemorrhagic shock. However, although they found that there was no benefit to performing
chest compressions in hypovolemic animals, there may be a benefit to performing abdominal
only CPR in conjunction with fluid administration.To read this article in full you will need to make a payment
