Passive Leg Raise During Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

Impact of Passive Leg Raise on Hemodynamic Effect: A Randomized Crossover Experimental Study

during cardiopulmonary resuscitation, an important element of the procedure is to achieve optimal organ perfusion. For this purpose, high quality chest compressions is one of the basic elements of the procedure. however, similarly as in the case of hypovolemic shock, elevation of the lower limbs may be helpful. The study is a randomized cross-over study and includes the effect of lower limb elevation on hemodynamic parameters in healthy participants.

Inclusion Criteria:

• voluntary informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

• hip injury during the six months preceding the examination
• back pain
