Mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation is used by prehospital and intrahospital personnel to provide basic and advanced life support. It has several advantages over manual CPR. Major advances have been made to produce convenient portable units that provide reliable, improved ventilation and cardiac compression. More sophisticated techniques under development would effect changes in prehospital emergency care procedures because they require endotracheal intubation. Mechanical CPR will logically be important in implementing these techniques.
院前和院内急救人员使用机械心肺复苏来提供基础和高级生命支持。与徒手心肺复苏相比，它有几个优点。在制造方便携带的设备方面已经取得了重大进展，这些设备能提供可靠且更好的通气和心脏按压。正在研发的更复杂的技术将改变院前急救程序，因为它们需要气管插管。在实施这些技术方面，机械心肺复苏在逻辑上将会很重要。
