- Misc:

    - CPR
              - in the report by Alfred Hallstrom et al 2000, survival to hospital discharge was better among patients assigned to chest
                      compression alone than among those assigned to chest compression plus mouth-to-mouth ventilation (14.6 percent vs.
                      10.4 percent), but the difference was not statistically significant (P=0.18);
                      - outcome after CPR with chest compression alone is similar to that after chest compression with
                              mouth-to-mouth ventilation, and chest compression alone may be the preferred approach for
                              bystanders inexperienced in CPR. (N Engl J Med 2000;342:1546-53.)
