Mechanical Compression Devices in Sports Medicine
The rapid response to cardiac emergencies in sports medicine is paramount. Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) remains a leading cause of mortality in athletes.1,2 Traditional manual cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) has long been the cornerstone of emergency response, but the advent of mechanical compression devices has introduced a new dimension of efficiency and consistency during CPR. This paper delves into the role of mechanical compression devices in sports medicine, exploring their applications, benefits, limitations, and future directions based on observations from their use in a mastery-level simulation sports emergency preparedness program.
