First paragraph (this article has no abstract)

The quality of CPR is associated with survival [1]. The goal of CPR is to provide sufficient cerebral blood flow (CBF). This prospective and observational study was planned to evaluate if the quality of CPR is correlated to a surrogate marker for CBF as estimated by regional cerebrovascular oxygen saturation (rSO2).
