Cardiac Arrest As mentioned before, tidal CO2 is a function of metabolic rate and cardiac output, so capnography can be utilized during CPR to monitor the effectiveness of chest compressions. 2011): 544-549. 2011): 189-196. Continuous monitoring allows for rapid recognition of tube displacement. 2017): 829-842. Whitaker, D.

Two recent interventions have proven in randomized trials to improve neurologic survival in cardiac arrest: 1) the combination of the ResQPod and the ResQPump (suction device for compression-decompression CPR -- Lancet 2011 ) and 2) Dual Sequential defibrillation.

Case: You are the medical director of an EMS system in a large city deciding on whether to respond to all out of hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) with ACLS capabilities, or if resources should be directed to those candidates for extracorporeal CPR. Bystander high-quality CPR can buy you some time until defibrillation.

You are the first provider on scene with Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and start high-quality Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). published in Resuscitation 2011. Case: A 51-year-old man experiences a cardiac arrest on the street. A cardiac defibrillator is hooked up and the patient is in ventricular fibrillation.

CPR is currently in progress with a single shock having been delivered. This has included things like therapeutic hypothermia ( SGEM#54 , SGEM#82 , SGEM#183 and SGEM#275 ), supraglottic devices ( SGEM#247 ), crowd sourcing CPR ( SGEM#143 and SGEM#306 ), and epinephrine ( SGEM#238 ).
