Abstract

To study the impact of interposed abdominal pulling-pressing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (IAPP-CPR) for patients with cardiac arrest (CA). A prospective study was conducted. A total of 122 CA patients admitted to Department of Emergency of Shandong Provincial Mining Industry Group Company Central Hospital from July 2013 to December 2017 were enrolled. They were divided into standard cardiopulmonary resuscitation (S-CPR) group (n = 62) and IAPP-CPR group (n = 60) according to order of admission. The patients in S-CPR group received external cardiac compression, open airway, endotracheal intubation, mechanical ventilation, routine drug rescue, and defibrillation when ventricular fibrillation was found. And the patients in IAPP-CPR group received the IAPP-CPR on the basis of the routine chest compression. During the relaxation period, the patients were subjected to abdominal lifting and compressing with amplitude of 4-5 cm, frequency of 100 times/min, and the time ratio of lifting to compressing was 1:1. The data of demographics and clinical signs of patients were collected. The markers of respiratory and circulatory performance of all patients after CPR were determined. The rates of restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC)...Continue Reading

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.
