Objective: In cardiac arrest cases, high quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation and effective chest compression are vital issues in improving survival with good neurological outcomes. In this study, we investigated the effect of mechanical chest compression devices on 30- day survival in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Materials and Methods: This retrospective case-control study was performed on patients who were over 18 years of age and admitted to the emergency department for cardiac arrest between January 1, 2016 and January 15, 2018. Manual chest compression was performed to the patients before January 15, 2017, and mechanical chest compression was performed after this date. Return of spontaneous circulation, hospital discharge, and 30-day survival rates were compared between the groups of patients in terms of chest compression type. In this study, the LUCAS-2 model piston-based mechanical chest compression device was used for mechanical chest compressions. Results: The rate of return of spontaneous circulation was significantly lower in the mechanical chest compression group (11.1% vs 33.1%; p < 0.001). The 30-day survival rate was higher in the manual chest compression group (6.8% vs 3.7%); however, this difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.542). Furthermore, 30-day survival was 0% in the trauma group and 0.6% in the patient group who underwent cardiopulmonary resuscitation for over 20 minutes. Conclusion: It can be seen that the effect of mechanical chest compression on survival is controversial; studies on this issue should continue and, furthermore, studies on the contribution of mechanical chest compression on labor loss should be conducted.

Purpose: Survival rates after non-shockable out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remain low despite advances in resuscitation. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) process measures may inform treatment strategies. We hypothesized that CPR process measures would be associated with return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and patient electrocardiogram (ECG) transitions. Methods: We obtained defibrillator monitor data for emergency medical service (EMS)-treated non-shockable OHCA from the Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium (ROC), an OHCA research network (U.S./Canada). We extracted ECG data from EMS defibrillator files and parsed cases into compression-free analyzable segments using custom MATLAB software. Two data abstractors classified segment rhythms as PEA, asystole, ventricular fibrillation (VF), pulseless ventricular tachycardia (PVT), or ROSC. We calculated CPR process measures (average rate, depth, duration, leaning proportion, chest compression fraction, and duty cycle) for CPR bouts preceding every ECG segment. We used mixed effects models controlling for subject to test associations between individual CPR process measures and the bout-level outcomes ROSC and shockable rhythm. Results: We analyzed 1893 cases consisting of 7981 CPR bouts. Case initial rhythms were asystole (68.2%), PEA (24.9%), or NSA-AED (6.9%). Segment rhythm classifications were asystole (78.1%), PEA (20.4%), ROSC (5.5%), VF (1.4%), and PVT (0.07%). Regression model results are shown in Table 1. Chest compression fraction was most strongly associated with ROSC and shockable rhythm. Depth was also associated with shockable rhythm. Leaning proportion and duty cycle were not associated with either outcome. Conclusions: In cases of non-shockable OHCA, CPR quality measures were associated with ROSC and transition to a shockable rhythm at the bout level.

The optimal airway management strategy during cardiopulmonary resuscitation is uncertain. In the case of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, a high chest compression fraction is paramount to obtain the return of spontaneous circulation and improve survival and neurological outcomes. To improve this fraction, providing continuous chest compressions should be more effective than using the conventional 30:2 ratio. Airway management should, however, be adapted, since face-mask ventilation can hardly be carried out while continuous compressions are administered. The early insertion of a supraglottic device could therefore improve the chest compression fraction by allowing ventilation while maintaining compressions. This is a protocol for a multicenter, parallel, randomized simulation study. Depending on randomization, each team made up of paramedics and emergency medical technicians will manage the 10-min scenario according either to the standard approach (30 compressions with two face-mask ventilations) or to the experimental approach (continuous manual compressions with early insertion of an i-gel® supraglottic device to deliver asynchronous ventilations). The primary outcome will be the chest compression fraction during the first two minutes of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Secondary outcomes will be chest compression fraction (per cycle and overall), compressions and ventilations quality, time to first shock and to first ventilation, user satisfaction, and providers’ self-assessed cognitive load.
