Our group previously reported that right-sided vagus nerve stimulation (RVNS) significantly improved outcomes after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in a rat model of cardiac arrest (CA). However, whether left-sided vagus nerve stimulation (LVNS) could achieve the same effect as RVNS in CPR outcomes remains unknown.
