Chest compression rate: where is the sweet spot?

چکیده

The first description of modern cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) included the instruction to compress the chest “about 60 times per minute”1; however, the optimal compression rate was unknown. Franz Koenig is credited with describing the original technique for external cardiac massage, which included a compression rate of 30 to 40 per minute.2 But in the first published description of external cardiac massage in 1892, Friedrich Maass documented a better clinical response with a rate of 120 per minute.2 To this day, the optimal compression rate is the subject of controversy. Animal data indicate that cardiac output increases with compression rates up to as high as 150 per minute.3 In a canine model of prolonged cardiac arrest, compression rates of 120 per minute compared with 60 per minute increased mean aortic (systolic and diastolic) and coronary perfusion pressures, and 24-hour survival (61% versus 15%, P 0.03).4 In a study of 9 patients undergoing CPR, a compression rate of 120 per minute generated higher aortic peak pressures and coronary perfusion pressures compared with a compression rate of 60 per minute (the rate recommended by the 1980 American Heart Association [AHA] guidelines). This evidence is supported by another study of 23 patients in cardiac arrest in which compressions at 120 per minute resulted in significantly higher end-tidal carbon dioxide values compared with compressions at 80 per minute.5

MRCSI: Compressing and Searching String Collections with Multiple References

Efficiently storing and searching collections of similar strings, such as large populations of genomes or long change histories of documents from Wikis, is a timely and challenging problem. Several recent proposals could drastically reduce space requirements by exploiting the similarity between strings in so-called referencebased compression. However, these indexes are usually not searchable an...

The sweet spot of a baseball bat

The sweet spot of a baseball bat, like that of a tennis racket, can be defined either in terms of a vibration node or a centre of percussion. In order to determine how each of the sweet spots influences the ‘‘feel’’ of the bat, measurements were made of the impact forces transmitted to the hands. Measurements of the bat velocity, and results for a freely suspended bat, were also obtained in ord...

A Comparative Study Between 595-Nm Pulsed Dye Laser with Cutaneous Compression and Cryotherapy in the Treatment of Solar Lentigines

Background: Although cryotherapy is still the first-line therapy for solar lentigines, due to side effects such as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), especially in patients with darker skin types, pigment specific lasers should be considered as initial treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of cryotherapy in comparison with 595-nm pulsed dye laser (PDL)...

Strengths and weaknesses of chest compression training: a preliminary retrospective study.

BACKGROUND High quality chest compression is one of the key factors in successful resuscitation. A high standard of training is therefore decisive. We aimed to investigate the strengths and weaknesses of teaching chest compression in a study designed to highlight where targeted improvements in the quality of our chest compression training can and must be made. METHODS Retrospective analysis o...
