In the hospital environment, interpose abdominal compressions can be beneficial. However, they’re not yet clear if cooling during CPR will improve the outcomes.
An internal cardiac massage is a type of manual squeezing that’s done through an incision made into the chest cavity. It can be performed during open-heart surgery.
There’s also not enough evidence supporting the use of mechanical compressions to improve outcomes when it comes to cardiac arrest.
If you’re trained in CPR, you can open the airway by performing a chin-lift technique. This method can be helpful for children who are suffering from a heart attack.
To perform this method, place your fingers on the child’s forehead and gently tilt it to the side. Then, using the other hand, gently lift the child’s cheeks up to the air.
