Do Chest Compressions Benefit the Brain Beyond Restoring Circulation? ROSC-Mediated and ROSC-Independent Pathways of Bystander CPR After Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest
Background/Objectives: Bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) improves outcome after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), but whether its neurological benefit operates solely through prehospital return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) is unresolved. We quantified the mediated and unmediated components. Method...
