The Effect of Asphyxia Arrest Duration on a Pediatric End-Tidal CO2-Guided Chest Compression Delivery Model.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To determine the effect of the duration of asphyxial arrest on the survival benefit previously seen with end-tidal CO2-guided chest compression delivery.

Design

Preclinical randomized controlled study.

Setting

University animal research laboratory.

Subjects

Two-week-old swine.

Interventions

After either 17 or 23 minutes of asphyxial arrest, animals were randomized to standard cardiopulmonary resuscitation or end-tidal CO2-guided chest compression delivery. Standard cardiopulmonary resuscitation was optimized by marker, monitor, and verbal feedback about compression rate, depth, and release. End-tidal CO2-guided delivery used adjustments to chest compression rate and depth to maximize end-tidal CO2 level without other feedback. Cardiopulmonary
