Cardiopulmonary resuscitation. New and controversial techniques.
Primary care physicians may need to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) from time to time. Knowledge regarding CPR has become extensive, and it is hoped that greater success will be achieved in the future with the advent of new methods. A number of techniques and devices have received attention in the lay and professional press. If appropriate care is to be delivered, practicing physicians must be aware of what is proven technology and what is investigational.
