چکیده

Use of continuous transtracheal oxygen delivery systems combined with rhythmic chest compressions can provide excellent oxygenation and ventilation during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. However, occasional displacement of the transtracheal catheter results in life-threatening pneumomediastinal complications. We investigated using the pharyngeal lumen of a pharyngeal-tracheal lumened airway (PtL) as an alternative delivery system for continuous oxygen flow in 21 large mongrel dogs. Excellent ventilation was possible in anesthetized, apneic, and paralyzed dogs in normal sinus rhythm from the "bellows" effect of chest compressions. The hypercapnia and respiratory acidemia resulting from 5 min of complete apnea in ten dogs during normal sinus rhythm was readily corrected (p less than 0.01). In an additional 11 dogs, external chest compressions were performed and oxygen was delivered continuously via the PtL during 20 min of ventricular fibrillation. During this period of cardiac arrest, pH declined (7.38 +/- 0.01 vs 7.19 +/- 0.02; p less than 0.01), but PaCO2 (35 +/- 1 vs 38 +/- 3 mm Hg) and PaO2 (67 +/- 2 vs 68 +/- 3 mm Hg) were not significantly different from prearrest values. Successful resuscitation was achieved in 8 of 11 (73 percent) animals, which is similar to the results in historical controls with endotracheal intubation. No pneumomediastinal complications were seen with use of the PtL. We conclude that using the pharyngeal lumen of the PtL for continuous delivery of oxygen combined with external chest compressions can provide a safe and effective mode of oxygenation and ventilation during cardiac arrest.

Field evaluation of experimental cardiopulmonary resuscitation techniques.

THE recommended technique of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) has changed minimally since the 1960s.’ It is intuitive that intermittent positive pressure ventilation should be provided to facilitate the elimination of carbon dioxide and the maintenance of oxygenation while the restoration of spontaneous circulation is attempted. In this issue of ANESTHESIOLOGY, Safssy et d 2 present data sug...

Section 3: Adjuncts for Oxygenation, Ventilation, and Airway Control Oxygenation Devices

Oxygenation Devices During cardiopulmonary emergencies use supplemental oxygen as soon as it is available. Rescue breathing (ventilation using exhaled air) will deliver approximately 16% to 17% inspired oxygen concentration to the patient, ideally producing an alveolar oxygen tension of 80 mm Hg. During cardiac arrest and CPR, tissue hypoxia occurs because of low cardiac output with reduced per...
