Cardiopulmonary resuscitation maintains artificial blood flow during cardiac arrest, as confirmed by numerous hemodynamic and animal model studies demonstrating measurable arterial pressure and blood flow during chest compressions.
The retrieved papers provide consistent experimental and clinical evidence demonstrating that chest compressions during cardiopulmonary resuscitation generate artificial blood flow, systemic blood pressure, and cerebral perfusion. All relevant sources that address the physiological effects of CPR support the claim, with no papers refuting it.
