Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) guidelines emphasize that external chest compression should be started as early as possible during CPR. In addition to manual hand compressions, the machine for CPR can be used instead. However traditional machines for CPR take a lot of time toinstall, and is not conducive to the early initiation of chest compressions. So the medical staff of the emergency department of Mindong Hospital Affiliated to Fujian Medical University designed a new type of machine for CPR based on scissor lift principle without back plate. The design has obtained the national utility model patent. This patented product with flexible lifting and accurate placement is easy to install and fix, and can overcome the drawbacks of conventional machines that are uneasy to install, thus ensuring the implementation of high quality CPR.

Introduction: Neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) graduates are at risk of sudden death at home after discharge. Many of these deaths can be prevented if parents can identify warning signs and provide immediate resuscitation.
Objectives: The primary objective of this study was to assess the feasibility of training parents of high-risk neonates in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) to deliver infant resuscitation effectively.

Objective: Post-resuscitation brain injury is a common sequela after cardiac arrest (CA). Increasing sirtuin1 (SIRT1) has been involved in neuroprotection in oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) neurons, and we investigated its mechanism in post-cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) rat brain injury by mediating p65 deacetylation modification to mediate hippocampal neuronal ferroptosis.
Methods: Sprague-Dawley rat CA/CPR model was established and treated with Ad-SIRT1 and Ad-GFP adenovirus vectors, or Erastin.

Aims: Brain injury occupies the predominant cause of neurological dysfunction and mortality after successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) from cardiac arrest (CA). This study investigates the role and mechanism of Sirtuin 6 (SIRT6) in post-cardiac arrest brain injury in rats.
Methods: All rats were subjected to asphyxial CA followed by CPR.

OHCA (out-of-hospital cardiac arrest) patients have improved neurological outcomes with public-access automated external defibrillator (PAD) use. However, the benefit of epinephrine administration after PAD use remains controversial. The purpose of the study was to investigate the impact of epinephrine administration on neurological outcomes in OHCA patients after PAD use.
