Effect of ventilation on resuscitation in an animal model of cardiac arrest

摘要: BACKGROUNDThe need for ventilation during the initial management of cardiac arrest is an important public health problem that being debated. The present study was designed to determine whether affects return spontaneous circulation from in a swine model with interval untreated ventricular fibrillation 6 minutes, as reported witnessed out-of-hospital human arrest.METHODS AND RESULTSTwenty-four animals were randomly assigned two groups: one received first 10 minutes chest compression and did not. Coronary perfusion pressure minute continuously recorded. Arterial mixed venous blood gases measured at intervals. Return defined prospectively aortic systolic > 80 mm Hg 5 primary outcome variable. All anesthetized, paralyzed, intubated. Ventricular induced persisted ...
