Forensic imaging findings by post-mortem computed tomography after manual versus mechanical chest compression

Conclusion PMCT is useful for evaluating injuries related to CPR. LUCAS™2-CPR has a greater association with subcutaneous pre-sternal hematomas than standard CPR. There is no further significant difference in the incidence of injuries between mechanical and manual chest compression. From a forensic point of view, it is important to identify CPR-related injuries.
