What limitations did the commentary highlight in the above recommendation?
What will be an ideal response?
Suggested response: The limitations include the high rate of bystander CPR and the increased proportion of patients with an initial shockable rhythm, which cause the findings of the study to lack generalisability to all out-of-hospital cardiac arrests. The study itself was not designed to test that the two temperatures were equivalent, which further limits its applicability to a protocol change.

1. too small a blood pressure cuff yields too low a reading; too large yields too high a reading. 2. shifting the position of the woman and changing from arm to arm for different measurement yields the most accurate composite blood pressure reading at each visit. 3. systolic blood pressure increases slightly as pregnancy advances; diastolic remains constant. 4. compression of the iliac veins and inferior vena cava by the uterus contributes to hemorrhoids in the latter part of term pregnancy.
