    oxygen during cpr. Experience shows that 100% ventilation with PEEP and intermittent ventilation with compressions initially helps to increase blood pressure and promotes better outcomes afterward. What it does is potentially induce cellular apoptosis.

    Overall, it's a well-structured and valuable draft that, with refinement, can serve as an effective resource for both clinicians and lay responders worldwide.

    Suggestions for improvement include enhancing clarity and readability, adding a succinct executive summary, emphasizing early intervention's urgency, and clarifying the evidence basis for recommendations. The discussion on specialized agents like Diphoterine® could be expanded to address global availability and cost.

    Future research priorities, such as controlled trials and resource-limited strategies, should be explicitly outlined. Practical guidance could specify irrigation duration and safety precautions, and external stakeholder comments could be formalized. Technical search strategies may be better placed in appendices, keeping the main focus on actionable guidance.

    Updating references, ensuring clarity in language, and creating visual summaries would further strengthen the document.

    This appears to be the easiest way to explain to the general population about concussion as they may not be qualified to make the assessment. A decreased loc event, mechanism current presentation all Should be considered and 911 called if uncertain .
