effect of capnography feedback during cpr on return of spontaneous circulation

Return of spontaneous circulation is the primary goal in cardiac arrest patient and CPR Quality is important determinant of Return of spontaneous circulation. CPR feedback tools have improved the quality of CPR performance, but its effects on patient outcome are unclear. This study was to investigated the” Effect of Capnography Feedback During CPR on Return of Spontaneous Circulation ".
Subjects & This clinical trial study was performed on 130 cardiac arrest patients in two group by conventional CPR and with the use of Capnography feedback by a Separate CPR team at Ghaem Hospital in Mashhad. Rate of return of spontaneous circulation of the patients were evaluated. portable sidestream capnography was used.
In this study, the majority (60%) of 130 patients were male.The mean age of patients was 57.2 ± 15.7 year and the most common initial cardiac rhythm was asystole (52.3 %). In more than 50% of cases the arrival time of cpr team was less than a minute, return of spontaneous circulation rate in the control group was 44.6 % and in the Capnography group 63.1%, which was significantly different (P =0/035).
Based on our findings, Capnography feedback during resuscitation improves quality of cpr and rate of return of spontaneous circulation, therefore, its use is recommended in all cases of hospital resuscitation.
