Data are presented as mean (standard deviation) or number and percentage.
ALP-CPR, abdominal lifting and compression cardiopulmonary resuscitation; BMI, body mass index; MAP, mean arterial pressure; NA, not available; ROSC, return of spontaneous circulation; STD-CPR, standard CPR.
indicates a significant difference between ALP-CPR and STD-CPR groups.
