Core Tip	The use of automated compression devices in ‘hostile’ environments, both in in- and out-of- hospital cases of cardiac arrest, seems to be beneficial both regarding compressions’ quality but especially the rescuers’ safety. So far, while experimental data is extensive, real-life studies examining their use in non-friendly situations are still limited. Since high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation remains the key to a successful resuscitation, their use such difficult and “hostile” situations should be seriously taken into consideration. Noteworthy, such a use is indeed implied by guidelines.
