0355. Optimal chest compression technique for pediatric arrest victims
Introduction In pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), highquality chest compressions (CCs) are essential to successful resuscitation, although most pediatric arrests are caused by respiratory arrest. Therefore, current guidelines emphasize deeper and faster CCs, with complete chest recoil between contractions. 2 These guidelines further indicate that rescuers may use a one-hand or two-...
متن کاملOptimal chest compression technique for paediatric cardiac arrest victims
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to assess the quality of chest compressions performed by inexperienced rescuers using three different techniques: two-hand, right one-hand, and left one-hand. METHODS We performed a prospective, randomised, crossover study in a simulated 6-year-old paediatric manikin model. Each participant performed 2-minute continuous chest compressions, using three diff...
متن کاملContinuous-chest-compression cardiopulmonary resuscitation for cardiac arrest.
It is well known that out-of-hospital sudden cardiac death is a leading public health problem in the industrialized world. In the absence of early defibrillation, survival rates of patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in most areas of the world are dismal and, except for a recent report of an improved rate of survival when their paramedic protocol was changed, have remained essen...
متن کاملRelationship between chest compression rates and outcomes from cardiac arrest.
BACKGROUND Guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation recommend a chest compression rate of at least 100 compressions per minute. Animal and human studies have reported that blood flow is greatest with chest compression rates near 120/min, but few have reported rates used during out-of-hospital (OOH) cardiopulmonary resuscitation or the relationship between rate and outcome. The purpose of th...
متن کاملEstimation of optimal pediatric chest compression depth by using computed tomography
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to compare the optimal chest compression depth for infants and children with that of adults when the simulated compression depth was delivered according to the current guidelines. METHODS A total of 467 consecutive chest computed tomography scans (93 infants, 110 children, and 264 adults) were reviewed. The anteroposterior diameter and compressible diameter (CD) for...
