Circulatory adjuncts. Newer methods of cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Principles of cardiovascular physiology tell us that during cardiac arrest and CPR, forward flow of blood can be generated by external compression or decompression of either the chest or the abdomen. Standard CPR utilizes only one of these modes--chest compression--and generates roughly 1 L/min forward flow in an adult human, which is 20% of normal cardiac output. IAC-CPR uses two of these mode...
متن کاملAlternative methods of mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Due to the relative ineffectiveness of standard resuscitation techniques, alternative methods have been explored for many years. The aim of new methods is to improve haemodynamics and increase survival rates. In spite of some encouraging haemodynamic results, all but one study failed to show an increase in long-term survival rates with an alternative method in a convincingly large group of pati...
متن کاملComparison of the Effects of Three Different Counting Methods on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Quality and Rescuer Fatigue
Background: Chest compression with adequate depth and number is one of the main indicators of high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Nevertheless, no proper counting technique is suggested to provide sufficient number of massages. Aim: To compare the effects of three techniques of chest compression counting on the quality of CPR and rescuer fatigue. Method: Inthis clinical trial, 30 ...
متن کاملComparison of Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation with Conventional Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: Is Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Beneficial?
BACKGROUND With improvements in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) techniques, the quality and the effectiveness of CPR have been established; nevertheless, the survival rate after cardiac arrest still remains poor. Recently, many reports have shown good outcomes in cases where extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) was used during prolonged CPR. Accordingly, we attempted to evaluate the i...
متن کاملRecent advances in mechanical methods of cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Several new CPR techniques and devices have been developed and tested since the first report of manual closed-chested cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) nearly four decades ago. These devices and techniques include vest CPR, interposed abdominal counterpulation CPR, active compression-decompression CPR, an impedance threshold valve, intra-aortic balloon pump and phased thoracic-abdominal count...
