Quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
CONTEXT Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) guidelines recommend target values for compressions, ventilations, and CPR-free intervals allowed for rhythm analysis and defibrillation. There is little information on adherence to these guidelines during advanced cardiac life support in the field. OBJECTIVE To measure the quality of out-of-hospital CPR performed by ambulance personnel, as measured...
متن کاملEarly cardiopulmonary resuscitation in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
BACKGROUND Three million people in Sweden are trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Whether this training increases the frequency of bystander CPR or the survival rate among persons who have out-of-hospital cardiac arrests has been questioned. METHODS We analyzed a total of 30,381 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests witnessed in Sweden from January 1, 1990, through December 31, 2011, to...
متن کاملCardiopulmonary resuscitation duty cycle in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
BACKGROUND Duty cycle is the portion of time spent in compression relative to total time of the compression-decompression cycle. Guidelines recommend a 50% duty cycle based largely on animal investigation. We undertook a descriptive evaluation of duty cycle in human resuscitation, and whether duty cycle correlates with other CPR measures. METHODS We calculated the duty cycle, compression dept...
متن کاملCardiopulmonary resuscitation for out of hospital cardiac arrest.
BACKGROUND Dispatcher-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation (DA-CPR) attempts to improve the management of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest by laypersons who are unable to recognize cardiac arrest and are unfamiliar with CPR. Therefore, we investigated the sensitivity and specificity of our new DA-CPR protocol for achieving implementation of bystander CPR in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest victim...
متن کاملPneumococcal pericarditis presenting as an out of hospital cardiopulmonary arrest.
Serious complications of pneumococcal pneumonia have become uncommon with effective antibiotic treatment. Purulent pericarditis is a rare though well described complication of untreated pneumococcal sepsis. A case of untreated pneumococcal pneumonia complicated by purulent pericarditis is described. This presented as an out of hospital asystolic cardiopulmonary arrest.
