This study evaluates the effectiveness of CPR during via ferrata rescues, focusing on response quality and outcomes in challenging outdoor settings.
This study investigates the quality of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) provided during via ferrata rescues, where challenging terrain pose unique challenges to lifesaving efforts. Via ferratas are popular adventure routes that often require swift emergency responses in cases of cardiac events or accidents. Our comprehensive case report scrutinizes CPR performance in these high-risk settings, examining critical factors such as compressions quality, rescue team coordination and safety. By shedding light on the effectiveness of CPR in via ferrata scenarios, this research aims to improve safety protocols and enhance the chances of survival for adventurers facing cardiac emergencies in remote and demanding environments.
