Comments were made on some thought-provoking articles, which included articles that dealt with cardiac arrest (CA). Two articles on CA elaborate on the role of automated compression devices to provide chest compressions during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in "hostile" environments and on a predictive model in cases of out-of-hospital CA (OHCA). CPR after CA has been practiced for centuries, and the evolution until current modern-day practices are discussed. The delay in adopting efficient techniques of resuscitation by the medical community for decades is also touched upon. Both in-hospital and OHCA are discussed along with guidelines and strategies to improve outcomes. Areas of possible research in the future are mentioned.
针对一些发人深省的文章发表了评论，其中包括涉及心脏骤停（CA）的文章。两篇关于心脏骤停的文章详细阐述了自动按压设备在“恶劣”环境下的心肺复苏（CPR）过程中提供胸部按压的作用，以及院外心脏骤停（OHCA）病例的预测模型。心脏骤停后的心肺复苏已经实施了几个世纪，并讨论了其发展至现代实践的过程。还提到了医学界几十年来在采用高效复苏技术方面的延迟。讨论了院内和院外心脏骤停情况以及改善预后的指南和策略。还提及了未来可能的研究领域。
