The CPR Advisor Analysis Algorithm The following summary shows the results produced by the CPR component of the diagnostic algorithm, when run against the clinical database. The importance of administering effective chest compressions can mean the difference between a patient having a good quality of life following a cardiac arrest and having the misfortune of suffering neurological impairment due to inadequate cerebral oxygenation.
