Impact of limbs pneumatic compression during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on cardiac arrest patients: a randomized controlled trial

Abstract Background Limbs pneumatic compression during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for cardiac arrest patient were rarely reported. Purpose To evaluate the effect of this therapy on patients arrest. Methods A randomized, controlled and trial, a total 62 elderly (75.8±8.3 yrs) included randomized to “CPR group” (n=31) + Pneumatic Compression (n=31). Each individual in CPR group received standard CPR. In addition CPR, all “Pneumatic accepted intermittent (IPC) by Air Therapy System, which digital six-tiered rippling full-body pressure (0.45–0.6 kg/cm2) 1 minute interval every 5 minutes. Results Compared with group, significant improvements output (CO) survival found (Figure 1). Patients had lower incidence (19.4% vs. 45.2%, p=0.03) acute kidney injury (AKI) than that group. Besides, occurrence hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) was observed 2). There no myonecrosis limbs caused compression. Conclusions Intermittent maybe could improve blood flow crucial organs (e.g. brain) increase patients, is superior strategy alone. Funding Acknowledgement Type funding sources: Public hospital(s).
