Cardiorespiratory dynamics of rescuers during cardiopulmonary resuscitation in a hypoxic environment.

Author
Abstract
:

We had previously experienced a case involving prolonged cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on Mt. Fuji (3776 m), demanding strenuous work by the rescuers. The objective of this study was to compare the effect of compression-only and conventional CPR on oxygen saturation of rescuers in a hypoxemic environment.
