Abstract

Tracheal insufflation of oxygen (TRIO) is a form of constant-flow ventilation. We studied the effect of TRIO at a flow rate of 2 L/kg/min on arterial blood gases during external cardiac compressions in dogs with ventricular fibrillation. During the combined application of TRIO and external cardiac compressions, all animals were adequately oxygenated and hyperventilated except in cases where lung edema developed in the course of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). No pulmonary barotrauma was observed. The findings suggest that TRIO might be used as a temporary measure for emergency ventilation when CPR is performed in certain situations such as upper airway abnormalities or cardiac arrest outside the hospital setting, where intermittent positive pressure ventilation is not feasible.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
