Physiologic monitoring of CPR quality during adult cardiac arrest: A propensity-matched cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends monitoring cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) quality using end tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) or invasive hemodynamic data. The objective of this study was to evaluate the association between clinician-reported physiologic monitoring of CPR quality and patient outcomes.

Methods

Prospective observational study of index adult in-hospital CPR events using the AHA's Get With The Guidelines - Resuscitation Registry. Physiologic monitoring was defined using specific database questions regarding use of either ETCO2 or arterial diastolic blood pressure (DBP) to monitor CPR quality. Logistic regression was used to evaluate the association between physiologic monitoring and outcomes in a propensity score matched cohort.
