Abstract:
Open-chest cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is physiologically superior to all external CPR methods studied thus far (P. Safer, Ann. Emerg. Med., 13 (1984) 856). Open-chest CPR should again be taught to physicians, and used more often after prolonged cardiac arrest. An extensive review on open cardiac massage is presented herein.
