Effect on Chest Compression Fraction of Continuous Manual Compressions with Asynchronous Ventilations Using an i-gel^® versus 30:2 Approach during Simulated Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest: Protocol for a Manikin Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT: The optimal airway management strategy during cardiopulmonary resuscitation is uncertain. In the case of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, a high chest compression fraction is paramount to obtain the return of spontaneous circulation and improve survival and neurological outcomes. To improve this fraction, providing continuous chest compressions should be more effective than using the conventional 30:2 ratio. Airway management should, however, be adapted, since face-mask ventilation can hardly be carried out while continuous compressions are administered. The early insertion of a supraglottic device could therefore improve the chest compression fraction by allowing ventilation while maintaining compressions. This is a protocol for a multicenter, parallel, randomized simulation study. Dependi
