End-tidal CO2 in mechanical versus conventional CPR

چکیده
Introduction Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) generally has a poor prognosis. The development and use of a mechanical chest compression device has been suggested as a measure to achieve sufficient and continuous cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The mechanical chest compression device (Autopulse®) consists of a battery-driven board with a band attached that applies a 20% anteriorposterior compression of the patient's thorax at a frequency of 80 per minute. The aim of this study was to compare patients treated with the mechanical chest compression device (Autopulse®) with patients treated with conventional CPR. End-tidal CO2 (ETCO2) was used as a qualitative measure of circulation. We hypothesized that patients treated with Autopulse® had a higher ETCO2.

Measuremient of end-tidal carbon dioxide concentration during cardiopulmonary resuscitation
End-tidal carbon dioxide concentrations were measured prospectively in 12 cardiac arrest patients undergoing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in an accident and emergency department. The end-tidal carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration decreased from a mean (+ SD) of 4-55 + 0.88% 1 min after chest compression and ventilation was established, to values ranging from 2-29 + 0-84% at 2min to 1-56 + ...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to evaluate a novel method of distal end-tidal CO2 capnography by comparison with PaCO2 and with the more standard method that measures mainstream proximal end-tidal CO2 in intubated infants. METHODS Included in the study were all infants who were ventilated with conventional mechanical ventilation and intubated with a double-lumen endotracheal tube i...

Background & Aims: Elimination of carbon dioxide is related to the alveolar ventilation, respiratory rate and tidal volume. The aim of this study to determine the effect of mechanical ventilation with different tidal volumes and constant minute ventilation on the end tidal Co2 and oxygen saturation during general anesthesia and to seek optimum parameters of mechanical ventilation during gener...

BACKGROUND The LUCAS™ device delivers mechanical chest compressions that have been shown in experimental studies to improve perfusion pressures to the brain and heart as well as augmenting cerebral blood flow and end tidal CO2, compared with results from standard manual cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Two randomised pilot studies in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients have not shown im...
