Time to 1st Defibrillation
Hallstom et al = 2.1 minutes longer until 1st defibrillation
LINC Trial = 1.5 minutes longer until 1st defibrillation
Not Recorded
41. Clinical Bottom Line
“Hands-On” Defibrillation
– DECREASES CPR Interruptions
– UNCLEAR Neuro Intact Survival
– UNCLEAR Safety
Mechanical CPR
– DOES NOT Improve Neuro Intact Outcomes

1. Review the Importance of Quality in CPR
2. Discuss the Safety of “Hands-on” Defibrillation
3. Evaluate Manual vs Mechanical CPR
Soap Box: People running code need to pay attention to the quality of CPR, don’t just go through the motions….
CardioCerebral Resuscitation (CCR):
Had its origins in Arizona and officially started using in 2003
Step 1: NRB (no intubation)
Step 2: Continuous CPR (no pauses)
Standard ABC CPR vs CCC CPR 15 pigs per arm
CCC CPR had better ROSC, 24 hour survival, and 24 hour neurologically intact pigs
What we care about when we review studies is neurological outcome…..not ROSC or survival…..who cares if a person survives but is brain dead
Surrogates of neuro outcomes improved CPP, ROSC, 24hr survival….but the gold standard should be neuro outcomes
CPC 2: Moderate disability but can perform activities of daily living
So you may walk with a limp, but you can feed yourself, bathe yourself, and wipe your own ass!!!!
3 years of standard ABC CPR 3 years of CCR CPR in prehospital setting
Significantly improved survival and neuro intact survivors
Review article of CCR vs ABC standard CPR showed interruptions in CPR caused decrease coronary perfusion pressure
More importantly the decrease in perfusion pressure is not just during the pause, but is also the time to build the pressure back up ischemic cardiomyocytes are less likely to be successfully defibrillated
Pre-Shock Pause = Time Interval b/w CPR Cessation and Shock Delivery
Post-Shock Pause = Time Interval Between Shock Deliver and CPR Resumption
Peri-Shock Pause = Total Pre- and Post-Shock Pause Time
Longer pre-shock pauses = less likely to survive
Inpatient study: Almost 100 arrests (97 arrests) Just over 800 minutes of observed resuscitation and CPR (813 minutes)
CPR Rates:
CPR < 70 CPM 21.7% of the time = 1/4
CPR < 80 CPM 36.9% of the time = 1/3
CPR > 100 CPM 31.4% of the time = 1/3
Hopefully I have proven to you that CPR matters….high quality, limited interruptions, appropriate rate all = better survival/neuro outcomes
Is “Hands-On” Defibrillation Safe?
Does “Hands-On” Defibirllation decrease Peri-shock pauses?
Does “Hands-On” Defibrillation improve neuro intact outcomes?
Does Mechanical CPR Improve Neuro Intact Outcomes?
43 Simulated Shocks No Shocks Perceived by Rescuers
Bottom Line: “Hands-On” CPR with Biphasic External Defibrillation results in LOW levels of leakage current
Dangerous: Some of all Single Glove Types and Some Double Glove Chloroprene
Safety Uncertain: Some of all Single Glove Types and Some Double Glove Vinyl, Nitrile, and Latex
29 Adverse Events
7 Accidental/Intentional Defibrillator Misuse
3 Device Malfunction
4 During Training/Maintenance Procedures
15 During Reglar Resuscitation Efforts
Mostly Tingling Sensation, Discomfort and Minor Burns
No Long Term Effects Reported
Cadaver Study 6 Cadavers defibrillated and rescuer received anywhere from 1 – 8 Joules of Electricity
1 Joule is the minimum dose of electricity to cause ventricular fibrillation
I have heard Scott Weingart talk about being and advocate of “hands-on” defibrillation until he was shocked and couldn’t move his arm for several hours
I realize that a single case report is not data, but this occurrence must be so rare that we have to pay attention to case reports in this case
Shameless Plug: “Hands-On” Defibrillation not safe
129 OHCA cases CPR during defibrillator charging decreases pre-shock pauses study size not large enough for clinical outcomes
But this decrease pre-shock pause should = better survival/neuro outcomes larger trials pending
12 Studies (8 Load Distributing Bands and 4 Piston Driven)
Over 6500 patients
Primary Outcome = ROSC
Load Distributing Band
Piston Driven
Both Multicenter RCT with greater than 1000 patients
LDB vs Manual CPR
No diff in ROSC or neuro intact survival
PD device vs Manual CPR
No statistical diff in survival or neuro intact outcomes
One Caveat: Long ambulance transport, there may be a place for this.
