✦ Synopsis

matic trousers group in AS had a 24% resuscitation rate and a 0% discharge rate. The difference in resuscitation rate with pneumatic trousers was not statistically significant in any of these categories. These somewhat enhanced resuscitation and discharge rates with the pneumatic trousers make it only an adjunct to be considered in patients presenting with bradyasystolic rhythms who are refractory to standard initial therapies.
