Again and again. Why do the experts not focuses on where on the chest you apply your compression point? During the last 50 years we have NOT compressed correctly according to where the heart ventricle is.

This is a graph of Covid 19 deaths for these countries. They have chosen different strategies. History will tell who did correct. Infographic: Koronadødsfall -

Just started a randomized prospective study of home isolated Covid 19 infection patients with electronic biosensors to measure heart rate (HR), HR variability, stroke volume, resp rate, pulsox, temp, blood pressure and NEWS II. Will they be hospitalized before they are very sick?.

TTM, compared 32-34 with 36 C, neutral. Guidelines advocate 36 C. CIRC, PARAMEDIC, LINC, all neutral trials. Guidelines do not support mechanical. The results are in principle the same for all these studies but with total different recommendations. Why? Please educate me.

We should explore how to ventilate newborns and kids during CPR. Is it correct with continuous chest compressions with a pop of valve for ventilation? What about 15:2 for the intubated kid?.

Do NOT be happy with low CO2 values during mechanical CPR. Change compression point in order to increase CO2 because in most cases left ventricle is not compressed.

Change compression spot in order to facilitate blood flow and use CO2 measure as a guide to the correct place. Holds true for mechanical devices also.

Using supraglottic devices for ventilation and not stopping chest compressions should reconsider how to provide good ventilation.

With mechanical CPR we should explore ratio 20:2. Mechanical devices should reflect this. Integrated ventilation is difficult.

Recommendation of ratio is based on manual chest compressions combined with either bag mask or endotracheal intubation ventilation. Change?.

Guidelines and Recommendations are based on manual CPR. We need tailored Guidelines and Recommendations for mechanical CPR.

If you use a supraglottic device during CPR you have to change to ratio 30:2 chest compression ventilation.

What is your advice regarding continuous chest compressions when the airway is not protected? Example is supraglottic devices such as iGel.
