High-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a key element in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) resuscitation. Mechanical CPR devices have been developed to provide uninterrupted and high-quality CPR. Although human studies have shown controversial results in favor of mechanical CPR devices, their application in pre-hospital settings continues to increase. There remains scant data on the pre-hospital use of mechanical CPR devices in Asia. Therefore, we conducted a retrospective cohort study between September 2018 and August 2020 in an urban city of Taiwan to analyze the effects of mechanical CPR devices on the outcomes of OHCA; the primary outcome was attainment of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). Of 552 patients with OHCA, 279 received mechanical CPR and 273 received manual CPR, before being transferred to the hospital. After multivariate adjustment for the influencing factors, mechanical CPR was independently associated with achievement of any ROSC (OR = 1.871; 95%CI:1.195–2.930) and sustained (≥24 h) ROSC (OR = 2.353; 95%CI:1.427–3.879). Subgroup analyses demonstrated that mechanical CPR is beneficial in shorter emergency medical service response time (≤4 min), witnessed cardiac arrest, and non-shockable cardiac rhythm. These findings support the importance of early EMS activation and high-quality CPR in OHCA resuscitation.

<p><em>Cardiac arrest is a significant cause of death worldwide, and an estimated 17.9 million people die from heart disease. In 2016, cardiac arrest represented 31% of all global deaths, and heart attacks and strokes caused 85%. In the treatment of cardiac arrest, health providers must perform cardiac and pulmonary resuscitation, a combination of chest compressions, and assistance for the victim's breathing. Nurses must be able to provide high-quality CPR to the patients for optimal outcomes. This study aimed to describe the knowledge of nurses in six private hospitals in Indonesia about high-quality CPR. This research was quantitative descriptive using a modified questionnaire regarding the theory of high-quality CPR. The population in this study were nurses from adult inpatient wards at six private hospitals in Indonesia with a total sample of 86 respondents through convenience sampling technique. The results showed that 79.1% inpatient nurses at six hospitals in Indonesia had good knowledge about high-quality CPR. Nurses are expected to maintain and improve their knowledge and ability to provide high-quality CPR so that the basic life support provided will be of high quality and provide optimal results for cardiac arrest patients in hospitals.</em><strong><br /><br />BAHASA INDONESIA ABSTRAK: </strong>Henti jantung merupakan penyebab kematian yang signifikan di dunia dan diperkirakan 17,9 juta orang meninggal karena penyakit jantung. Pada 2016, henti jantung mewakili 31% dari semua kematian global, dan 85% disebabkan oleh serangan jantung dan stroke. Dalam penanganan henti jantung, perawat harus melakukan resusitasi jantung dan paru yaitu kombinasi dari kompresi dada dan bantuan terhadap pernafasan korban. Tenaga kesehatan harus mampu memberikan<em> high-quality</em> CPR kepada korban untuk hasil yang optimal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran pengetahuan perawat tentang high-quality CPR di enam rumah sakit swasta di Indonesia. Penelitian ini merupakan studi deskriptif kuantitatif dengan menggunakan kuesioner mengenai teori <em>high-quality</em> CPR yang telah dimodifikasi. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah perawat ruang rawat inap dewasa di enam rumah sakit swasta di Indonesia dengan jumlah sampel sebanyak 86 responden melalui teknik sampel konvenien. Hasil penelitian menunjukan 79.1% perawat rawat inap di enam rumah sakit di Indonesia memiliki pengetahuan tentang <em>high-quality</em> CPR pada tingkat yang baik. Perawat diharapkan untuk tetap mempertahankan dan meningkatkan pengetahuan dan kemampuan pemberian <em>high-quality CPR</em> sehingga bantuan hidup dasar yang diberikan akan berkualitas dan memberikan hasil optimal bagi pasien henti jantung dalam rumah sakit.</p>

ABSTRAK High Quality Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation sangat dibutuhkan dalam menambah angka harapan hidup pasien dengan henti jantung. Pemantapan materi High Quality Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation di kuliah menjadi dasar pengetahuan dan ketermapilan  mahasiswa ketika sudah bekerja di tatanan klinik untuk melakukan High Quality CPR . Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui bagaimana pengetahuan tentang High Quality Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation pada alumni keperawatan STIKES. Dr. Soebandi Jember. Desain penelitian ini adalah deskriptif analitik Sampel penelitian ini melibatkan 48 responden. Metode pengambilan sampel dengan menggunakan teknik accidental sampling selama 1 bulan. Teknik pengambilan data dengan menggunakan google form. Hasilnya adalah 100% responden pernah mengikuti pelatihan kegawatdaruratan, 77,1% responden bekerja di klinik/rumah sakit, 81,3% responden pernah melakukan CPR pada pasien dan pengetahuan responden tentang High Quality Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation masih di bawah nilai 100, yaitu rata-rata pengetahuan dengan nilai 75,83. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah pengetahuan tentang High Quality Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation perlu ditingkatkan dengan pemantapan materi pada saat tahap kuliah di program sarjana keperawatan.

The management of out-of-hospital, atraumatic cardiac arrest has changed over the past decade. This case details the evidence-based changes in care that optimize the chance of neurologically intact survival. The key factors include immediate, continuous, high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation with minimal interruptions, early defibrillation, and the use of capnography to assess resuscitative efforts. The orchestration of resuscitative efforts is a bundle of care that must all be met to provide the patient the best chance of survival. Furthermore, this case illustrates the key points of postarrest care and touches on termination of resuscitation. This chapter examines the case of emergency medical services call for an unresponsive patient in cardiac arrest on arrival.

Rate of survival without any neurological consequence after cardiac arrest is driven not only by early recognition but also by high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Because the effectiveness of the manual cardiopulmonary resuscitation is usually impaired by rescuers’ fatigue, devices have been devised to improve it by appliances or ergonomic solutions. However, some devices are thought to replace the manual resuscitation altogether, either mimicking its action or generating hemodynamic effects with working principles which are entirely different. This article reviews such devices, both manual and automatic. They are mainly classified by actuation method, applied force, working space, and positioning time. Most of the trials and meta-analyses have not demonstrated that chest compressions given with automatic devices are more effective than those given manually. However, advances in clinical research and technology, with an improved understanding of the organizational implications of their use, are constantly improving the effectiveness of such devices.
