We’re pleased to share these exciting highlights from the recent AHA Resuscitation Science Symposium held in Philadelphia, November 11-12.

This year’s conference brought together an impressive array of research on the most recent advances in resuscitation science and practices, including these four abstracts addressing automated Head Up CPR:

• Comparison of Rapid Implementation of Automated Head and Thorax Elevation With Active Compression Decompression Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and an Impedance Threshold Device versus National Outcome Data: A Prospective Observational Study
• Survival and Neurological Function With Rapid versus Delayed Automated Head-Up CPR in a Porcine Model of Prolonged Cardiac Arrest
• Manual vs Automated Ventilation During Automated Head-Up Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation in a Porcine Model
• Automated Head-Up Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Increased End Tidal Co2 in Patients With Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Compared With Conventional CPR: A Prospective Before-After Interventional Study
