Endotracheal intubation is the preferred method to ensure proper artificial ventilation. Early detection of esophageal intubation is important for an individual patient's outcome. The aim of the study was to see if impedance measurements can be used to detect esophageal intubation, using the impedance measurement system of an experimental defibrillator.Patients who died at the emergency department...
To investigate the potential for finding an alternative for the ‘pulse check’ during CPR, we studied the use of thoracic impedance measured via the defibrillator pads for circulation assessment during CPR.Transthoracic impedance, ECG and arterial pressures were recorded on 69 patients with a resulting data set of 434 segments. The circulatory-related impedance waveform was first isolated manually...
