Ventilatory parameters during emergency department-based CPR and exploratory associations with return of spontaneous circulation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Evidence guiding ventilation strategies during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in humans remains limited, particularly in real-world emergency department (ED) settings. Existing recommendations are largely derived from animal studies and controlled environments, and how ventilation is delivered during ED-based CPR has not been well characterized.

Methods

This single-center prospective observational study described ventilation practices during ED-based CPR in adult patients with non-traumatic cardiac arrest who underwent endotracheal intubation. Minute ventilation, ventilation volume, and ventilation rate were measured using a flow sensor attached after ED arrival. Ventilatory parameters were summarized as patient-level averages during the recorded CPR period a
