Background Experimental active compression-decompression (ACD) CPR is associated with increased haemodynamic outcomes compared to standard mechanical chest compressions. Since no clinically available mechanical chest compression device is capable of ACD-CPR, we modified the LUCAS 2 (Physio-Control, Lund, Sweden) to deliver ACD-CPR, hypothesising it would improve haemodynamic outcomes compared with...
Animal studies indicate higher termination of VF/VT (TOF) rates after shocks delivered during the decompression phase of the compression cycle for manual and mechanical CPR. We investigated TOF for shocks delivered in different compression cycle phases during load distributing band (LDB) mechanical CPR in the CIRC trial.Shocks were retrospectively categorized as delivered during the compression, decompression,...
Guidelines recommend 2min of CPR after defibrillation attempts followed by ECG analysis during chest compression pause. This pause may reduce the likelihood of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and survival. We have evaluated the possibility of analysing the rhythm earlier in the CPR cycle in an attempt to replace immediate pre-shock rhythm analysis.The randomized Circulation Improving Resuscitation...
