The recommended techniques for external cardiac compression during cardiopulmonary resuscitation of the newborn are reviewed. The American Heart Association advises the rescuer to depress the infant's midsternum with the index and forefingers. An alternative recommendation is to encircle the chest with both hands and appose the thumbs on the midsternum. The cases reported here prove the superiority of the latter maneuver over the former in improving cardiac output and systemic blood pressures. The history of external cardiac compression in infants and children is briefly reviewed, further supporting the conclusion that the technique of encircling the chest with thumbs at midsternum is more efficacious and hence the preferred approach to closed chest cardiac massage in the newborn.

1. In four normal subjects and 51 patients with chronic bronchitis-emphysema, bronchial asthma and pulmonary fibrosis, the VD/VT ratio was measured by a helium washout technique (w VD/VT) and by the conventional Bohr's method using the arterial CO2 tension (VD/VT). 2. In 16 patients the w VD/VT ratio was compared with that calculated from Bohr's equation with the alveolar CO2 tension measured by the rebreathing technique (A VD/VT). 3. It was found that the values for the VD/VT ratio obtained by the helium washout technique were very close to those obtained by the conventional method using the Paco2 or P¯Aco2 values.
