Is open cardiac message superior over closed chest compressions?
These two studies appear to show different results regarding the effectiveness of Open Chest Cardiac Massage (OCCM):
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15514535 www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27537507
Is there any decent review study that has tried to evaluate this further?

I'm also confused, couldn't the patient be put on bypass when using EDT/OCCM, to buy more time to restart the heart? Or is there never enough time to do so, in these cases?
