The Pressure is On Resuscitation (#E9891) (Room 208B)

**Evaluate this session**

This panel of resuscitation experts will discuss the pathophysiology and benefits of using internal pressure that exists within the human body to improve cardiac and cerebral perfusion thereby improving resuscitation results. They will also present results from the use of CPR and ventilation devices as well as the performance of CPR in a “Heads Up” position to augment internal pressure via adjunctive resuscitation devices. Data and case studies will be used to illustrate the benefits of these important processes.  Michael Jacobs will briefly discuss how Alameda County had dramatically improved OHCA resuscitations by using all of the Take Heart America-recommended resuscitation tools.
