The goal is to ventilate and
oxygenate the patient by minimizing
chest compressions interruptions
without damaging hemodynamics
Ventilation Is Still A Stake
12. What Is the Current Practice of
Ventilation Techniques in the Field?
Q
13. Prolonged interruptions in chest compressions, for
reasons other than defibrillation, worsen clinical
outcomes for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
patients with ventricular fibrillation

Data Analysis
Continuous variables such as blood pressures, CPP, iCPP, and blood
gas analyses were evaluated by 2-tailed, unpaired Student’s t test and
described as meanϮSEM. Continuous variables that were not nor-
mally distributed (myocardial blood flows, cardiac outputs, and
oxygen deliveries) were evaluated by Mann-Whitney U test and
described as median (25%, 75%). In the CCϩRB group, we
demonstrable independently at
of CPR (Figure 2).

Consequences on Hemodynamics
20. • The AV-CCC concept improves
hemodynamics and ventilation
Ø Gas flow rate at 15L/min
Ø Turbulences (virtual valve)
created in b-card
Ø Control the exit and entry of gas
from the respiratory tract and
lungs
Ø Creation of static lung pressure
of 5 to 8 cmH2O

36. -This report proves that b-card creates a positive intra-thoracic pressure at compression and a negative intra-
thoracic pressure at decompression which helps improve the venous return and hemodynamics to the whole body.
- Secondly, the tidal volume delivered is improved compare to Intermittent Positive PressureVentilation with Bag-
Valve Mask (BVM). Indeed, the volume delivered at decompression is minimum 315 ml and maximum 369 ml.
