17. CPR in Real Life
ROSC between 0.1% and 49%
◦ 3-7% typical
◦ Outliers > 60% VF ROSC
Survival to Hospital Admission: 23%
Survival to Discharge : 7.6%
◦ THIS HAS NOT IMPROVED SIGNIFICANTLY IN 30YEARS!
Good Neurological Outcome: 0.1% and 30%

ASPECTS
OF
GOOD
CPR!
35. Key
ingredients to
our recipe
RATE
•Improving Perfusion through 220 continuous compressions
DEPTH
•Improving Performance with Feedback and peer
monitoring
RELEASE/RECOIL
•Improving Performance with Feedback and peer
monitoring
UNINTERRUPTED
•Reducing interruptions via assignments and positions
•Reducing interruptions via “Calling 200”
•Reducing interruptions via Hovering
•Reducing interruptions via pre-charging
DECREASED VENTILATION
•Decreasing ventilation rate/volume with Feedback and
peer monitoring
•Improving ventilations with 2 person methods

37. Compression…..
Increases intrathoracic pressure
Ejects Blood from the heart and lungs
“Good” compression increases cardiac
output (CO) and blood pressure
“Bad” Compressions hinders it
Tissue Perfusion
Remember, you are not just compressing the
heart, but the but the whole chest.

59. Poor Recoil = Increased Intrathoracic
Pressure
“The physiological penalty of assisted ventilation, with
its frequently incorrect rate and duration, is a persistently
positive intrathoracic pressure throughout the
decompression phase of CPR. This decreases cardiac
preload, cardiac output, and hinders right ventricular
function.”
- Bobrow BJ, Ewy GA. Ventilation during resuscitation efforts for out-of-hospital primary
cardiac arrest. Curr Opin Crit Care. 2009;15(3):228–233.
67. Disclaimer!!!
There are many takes on High Performance CPR, this is just “ours” that
fits “our” system.
◦ It is not perfect
◦ It is not the only way
The science is always changing, follow the science, not the loudmouth
(me).

Hand placement on
lower half of sternum
200 compressions @
110/minute
Approximately 2 minutes
per cycle
Complete recoil after each
compression
Calls “180” and counts
down.
Compresses at least 2
inches (5 cm)
Complete Recoil
“Hovers: when alternating

Peri-shock pauses to
under 3 seconds.
AIRWAY
Position 1/2
(alternating) ventilates at a
rate of 1 breath every 6-10
seconds (6-10/minute)
Delivers breaths
asynchronously with
compressions with short
“upstroke” ventilations
Position 3 establishes a
good 2 handed seal and:
Maintains proper
head/airway position
including ear to sternal
notch
Inserts adjunct as needed
based on scope of practice
without stopping
compressions.
Visible chest rise with
each breath
TEAM LEADER/Code Commander
Every resuscitation must have a team leader
Assigns roles PTA , Makes treatment decisions Monitors performance
Assumes responsibility for roles not assigned. Communicates status on radio and
in person
Should be highest certification. Often airway position (3).

75. “Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest outcomes with
“pit crew” resuscitation and scripted initiation
of mechanical CPR”
444 patients in the A-TCEMS system. ½ recived manual, ½ received
LUCAS.
“Conclusions: In this EMS system with a standardized, "pit crew"
approach to OHCA that prioritized initial high-quality initial resuscitative
efforts and scripted the sequence for initiating mechanical CPR, use of
mechanical CPR was associated with decreased ROSC and decreased
survival to discharge.”
“In the propensity matched analysis (n = 176 manual CPR; 176
mechanical CPR), both ROSC (38.6% vs. 28.4%; difference: 10.2%; CI:
0.4% to 20.0%) and survival to discharge (13.6% vs. 6.8%; difference:
6.8%; CI: 0.5% to 13.3%) remained significantly higher for patients
receiving manual CPR.”
76. Future of the Lucas?
After 10 minutes?
Transport Only?
Limited Resources?
