Optimizing standard cardiopulmonary resuscitation with an inspiratory impedance threshold valve

Chest

Abstract

This study was designed to assess whether intermittent impedance of inspiratory gas exchange improves the efficiency of standard cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Standard CPR relies on the natural elastic recoil of the chest to transiently decrease intrathoracic pressures and thereby promote venous blood return to the heart. To further enhance the negative intrathoracic pressures during the "relaxation" phase of CPR, we tested the hypothesis that intermittent impedance to inspiratory gases during standard CPR increases coronary perfusion pressures and vital organ perfusion. CPR was performed with a pneumatically driven automated device in a porcine model of ventricular fibrillation. Eight pigs were randomized to initially receive standard CPR alone, while seven pigs initially received standard CPR plus intermittent impedance to inspiratory gas exchange with a threshold valve set to -40 cm H2O. The compression:ventilation ratio was 5:1 and the compression rate was 80/min. At 7-min intervals the impedance threshold valve (ITV) was either added or removed from the ventilation circuit such that during the 28 min of CPR, each animal received two 7-min periods of CPR with the ITV and two 7-min periods without the valve.

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.
