Efficacy of heads-up CPR compared to supine CPR positions: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aim

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in full-coded patients requires effective chest compressions with minimal interruptions to maintain adequate perfusion to the brain and other vital organs. Many novel approaches have been proposed to attain better organ perfusion compared to traditional CPR techniques.

Methods

We searched PubMed Central, SCOPUS, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases from 1990 to February 2021. After the full-text screening of 40 eligible studies, only seven studies were eligible for our meta-analysis. We used the RevMan software (5.4) to perform the meta-analysis.
