The success of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is critically dependent on the maintenance of myocardial and cerebral perfusion; therefore, preferential perfusion of these vital organs over non-vital vascular beds, such as the extremities, is desirable. We propose that compression of the femoral and/or brachial arteries during CPR improves resuscitation outcomes.
