Relationship between cardiac ultrasound findings during cardiopulmonary resuscitation with the outcome of patients

Objective: Cardiopulmonary arrest is a devastating outcome of some clinical situations and requires strict implementation cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) protocols. Since ultrasound one the recommended tools to determine presence cardiac movements may be predictor outcome, this study examined relationship between echocardiographic findings during CPR with patients’ outcomes. Methods: This cross-sectional prospective observational was conducted on patients cardio-respiratory in emergency department Shariaty hospital 2019. sampling method random. Echocardiography done at patient’s bedside process accordance last advanced life support (ACLS) guidelines, two points, after end second 10th minutes from start CPR. The echocardiography (cardiac movement vs standstill) were recorded, patient outcomes followed. Thirty-two enrolled mean age 56.9±15.3 years. Chi-square Mann-Whitney U tests used calculate association heart contractions via SPSS V.22. Fisher’s exact test Kruskal-Wallis evaluate rhythm tenth Results: minute CPR, contrast minute, had significant correlation success rate (P<0.05). Moreover, ventricular tachycardia (VT)/ventricular fibrillation (VF) better rate, 24-hour survival than other rhythms asystole Conclusion: Echocardiographic can as prognostic factor for arrest.
