Transcript
“Possibly, by focusing so much attention on
discovering more effective drugs and more
sophisticated defibrillator technology, we have lost
sight of the vital importance of more mundane
therapies, such as timely and proper provision of
rescue breathing and chest compressions.
Perhaps those who research cardiac arrest are
guilty of the same oversight made by resuscitation
team leaders – we have all been looking at the
wrong aspects of the resuscitation attempt.”
Stephen Pitts, Arthur L. Kellerman
(Lancet 2004;364:314)
The ResQ Trial:
Comparison of
Standard Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (S-CPR) Alone
vs. Active Compression Decompression CPR (ACD-CPR) Plus an
Inspiratory Impedance Threshold Device (ITD) (ACD-CPR+ITD)
on Survival from Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest
Learning Objectives
After completing this course you will be able to:
1. Briefly describe the study objectives and your role in
the ResQ Trial.
2. List the patient inclusion/exclusion criteria.
3. State the purpose of the randomization calendar and
the method your agency uses to insure the calendar is
followed correctly each week.
4. Describe the correct performance of standard CPR
(with the modified hand position) and use of the AED
according to current AHA guidelines.
5. Describe the correct performance of active
compression-decompression (ACD-CPR) with the
ResQ Pump and ResQ POD.

Study Purpose
Evaluate the ability of two investigational
devices to make Standard CPR
(S-CPR) more effective:
Active Compression Decompression
CPR (ACD-CPR)
– Performed with a ResQPump®
Impedance Threshold Device (ITD)
– ResQPOD®
Why Does CPR Work?
“Cardiac Pump” Theory
Blood flow during CPR is due to the direct
compression of the heart between the
sternum and the spine.
May play particularly
important mechanistic
role in early phases of
CPR (valves lose
competence after
prolonged CPR).
“Thoracic Pump” Theory
• Ribs & sternum act as a
bellows.
• During chest compression,
increased intrathoracic
pressure, aided by one-way
valves in the heart and venous
system, cause forward
movement of blood through
the circulatory system.
Decompression Phase
• Blood returns to the heart during the
relaxation (decompression) phase of
CPR.
• A small, but important, vacuum
(negative pressure) forms in the chest
relative to atmospheric pressure and
draws blood back into the chest and
heart.
• The more blood that returns to the
heart (preload), the more that is
circulated forward (cardiac output) on
the next compression.
CPR with Incomplete Chest Relaxation
0 mmHg
The desired negative pressure within this patient’s chest is never achieved.
“Allowing complete chest recoil after each
compression allows blood to return to the
heart to refill the heart. If the chest is not
allowed to recoil/re-expand, there will be
less venous return to the heart, and filling
of the heart is reduced. As a result, cardiac
output produced by subsequent chest
compressions will be reduced.”
Highlights of the 2005 American Heart Association Guidelines for
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care. Currents
in Emergency Cardiovascular Care. Vol. 16 No. 4, Winter, 2005-2006
Device Mechanisms
• Goal: Enhance the negative pressure
(or vacuum) in the chest during the
decompression phase of CPR in order
to return more blood to the heart.
• ResQPump: Begins the creation of the
vacuum
• ResQPOD: Sustains the vacuum that is
created

• Length of resuscitation: minimum 30 minutes
Exceptional CPR Quality
• Follow correct compression rates:
– S-CPR: 100/min

• Allow chest to completely recoil
• Do not hyperventilate
– Facemask: 30:2 compression to ventilation ratio
– Advanced airway: 8-10/min
• Provide each ventilation over 1 sec
• Avoid interruptions of CPR longer than 10 s

Did you attempt resuscitation on the patient? If not, why?
Was the patient believed to be at least 18 yrs old? If not, age:
Was the likely cause of the arrest non-traumatic?
Was the likely cause of the arrest presumed to be cardiac?
Did the patient have preexisting DNR orders or did you stop efforts
early because of the family’s
request?
Did family or bystanders request that the experimental devices not be
used?
Did the patient have a recent sternotomy?
Was the patient a prisoner?
Was the patient known or suspected to be pregnant?
Did EMS perform 1-59 seconds of CPR on the patient?
Did the patient have a complete airway obstruction that could not be
cleared?
Did you attempt to intubate the patient with an ET tube or Combitube?
If yes, were you successful?
Standard CPR (S-CPR)
• Package with facemask only
• Airway not secured (facemask)
– Compression to ventilation ratio 30:2
– Compress to 1.5 - 2” & allow complete recoil with modified
hand position
– Compress at rate of 100/min but pause for breaths
– Ventilate over 1 second
• Airway secured (ET or Combi-tube)
– Compress continuously @ 100/min; do not pause for breath
– Compress to 1.5 – 2” & allow complete recoil with modified
hand position
– Ventilate at 8-10/min (1 breath about every 6-8 seconds)
– Ventilate over 1 second

ResQPump™
Metronome
Force Gauge
Suction Cup

ACD-CPR
Compression
• Same as standard CPR
• 1 ½ - 2”
• Compression rate 80/min
Body position
is critical to
avoid fatigue.
Perform CPR
at patient’s
side.
Rotate
compressor
role @ every 2
minutes.
ACD-CPR
Decompression
 Lift until force gauge
reads approx.
–20 to –30 lbs
Most common error is
failure to actively
decompress chest
ACD-CPR + ITD
• ResQPump & package with facemask, ResQPOD &
sticker
• Place ResQPOD on facemask ASAP
– Hold tight facemask seal at all times
• Airway not secured (facemask)
– Compression to ventilation ratio 30:2
– Compress to 1.5 - 2” with active decompression (use gauge)
– Use ResQPump & compress @ 80/min (metronome); pause
for breaths (less than 10 sec)
– Ventilate over 1 second
• Airway secured (ET 1st choice)
– Compress continuously @ 80/min (metronome); do not
pause for breaths
– Compress to 1.5 – 2” with active decompression (use gauge)
– Move ResQPOD to airway and turn on timing assist lights
– Ventilate according to lights or 8-10 breaths/min
– Ventilate over 1 second
Hand placement to
maintain a tight seal
Two-person rescue breathing*
One person rescue breathing
*The two-handed technique is
preferred. When it’s time to
pause compressions to give the
breaths, the person doing chest
compressions can reach over
and squeeze the ventilation bag.
ResQPOD with an ET Tube
The timing-assist lights
should be turned on to
guide ventilation rate (or
8-10 breaths/min.) only
after an advanced
airway is placed.
(Disconnect the ResQPOD to deliver meds thru ET tube, then
reconnect and continue ventilations.)
The ResQ POD is a CPR Tool
If CPR is in
progress…
When pulse
returns…
ETCO2 Monitoring
Place the ETCO2
sensor between
the ventilation
source and the
ResQPOD.
Troubleshooting
• Timing assist light function is independent of
inspiratory impedance valve feature.
• If timing assist lights fail to operate or appear
to blink at a rate different than  10/minute,
disregard the lights, continue using the
ResQPOD, and ventilate the patient at 8-10
breaths/minute.
• Discontinue ResQPOD if:
– Chest does not rise with ventilation
– Device appears to malfunction in any way
– The POD fills with fluid twice
(the airway may be suctioned as needed)
Troubleshooting
ResQPOD Fills With Fluid
• Clear fluids or secretions from the ResQPOD by
removing it from the airway adjunct and blowing out
debris using the ventilation source.
• Discontinue use if the device cannot be cleared.
• Discontinue use if the ResQPOD fills with fluid more
than once.
– May replace POD with new one (preferred), or d/c
completely
– Suctioning of tube (w/o fluid in POD) does not require that
the POD be discontinued
• If any problems with the ResQPOD, save in a red
bag and return to study coordinator
Troubleshooting
ACD-CPR
•
Suction problems in 10-15% of patients
–
–
•
May interfere with AP patch placement
–
•
Check placement and continue
Hickey or bruising to chest
–
•
Rotate frequently
Rib fractures
–
•
Move patches
Requires 25% more rescuer energy
–
•
Reposition, shave, or dry off chest
Continue use unless distracting
Continue
Discontinue use if device appears to malfunction.
ResQ Pump Cleaning/Reuse
• Clean cup with soap and water.
• May be cleaned with bleach solution or
other disinfectant.
• Check gauge for proper calibration.
Untrained Healthcare Providers
Do not leave the
ResQPOD or
ResQPump in the
hands of healthcare
providers who have
not been trained in
their use.
