Proposal of a Post-Resuscitation Damage Assessment (PRDA) Score. The weighed scorecard (left) enables an objective and comparable damage assessment while simultaneously emphasising the clinical relevance of various injury patterns regularly seen after CPR, mechanical or otherwise. Statistical analysis of the thoracic injuries (right) shows significantly more severe damages after mCCD2 treatment [0.56 (1.1) versus 2.67 (2.7), p = 0.046), possibly explaining the poor ROSC rates.
