Zusammenfassung

Hintergrund

Für die Durchführung einer kardiopulmonalen Reanimation (CPR) liegen international abgestimmte Leitlinien vor. Bis Ende 2005 waren für Europa die Leitlinien 2000 des European Resuscitation Council gültig, anschließend die Leitlinien 2005. Ziel der vorliegenden Studie war es, die Qualität der präklinischen CPR durch Rettungsassistenten im Hinblick auf die Einhaltung der geltenden Leitlinien zu analysieren.

Patienten und Methoden

Es wurden 299 Reanimationen im Hamburger Rettungsdienst zwischen dem 01.11.2004 und dem 31.12.2007 ausgewertet. Anhand der digitalen Aufzeichnungen der automatisierten externen Defibrillatoren (AED) sowie der CPR-Protokolle der Rettungsassistenten wurden die Daten hinsichtlich verschiedener Zeiten (u. a. CPR-Dauer, Dauer bis zur Wiederkehr eines organisierten EKG-Rhythmus, bis zur ersten Analyse bzw. Schockabgabe, Zeitabstände zwischen den Analysen bzw. Schockabgaben) und weiterer Daten wie EKG-Rhythmus und primäres Überleben bis zur Krankenhausaufnahme analysiert und das Einhalten der Leitlinien beurteilt.

Ergebnisse

Von den ausgewerteten 299 Reanimationen wurden 197 (65,9%) nach den Leitlinien 2000 und 102 (34,1%) nach den Leitlinien 2005 durchgeführt. „Return of spontaneous circulation“ (ROSC) konnte in 164 Fällen (54,8%), ein Überleben bis zur Krankenhausaufnahme in 125 Fällen (41,8%) erreicht werden. Bezüglich der primären Überlebensrate gab es keinen signifikanten Unterschied zwischen der CPR nach den Leitlinien 2000 und den Leitlinien 2005 (40,1 vs. 45,1%). In 273 der 299 Reanimationen (91,3%) wurden die Leitlinien nicht vollständig eingehalten. Das Einhalten der Leitlinien führte zu einer – auch unabhängig von der CPR-Dauer – signifikant vergrößerten primären Überlebensrate (73,1 vs. 38,8%, p=0,007).

Schlussfolgerung

Nach den vorgestellten Daten werden die Leitlinien nur selten vollständig eingehalten. Das Einhalten der CPR-Leitlinien sollte unbedingt angestrebt werden, da hierdurch die Sterberate um 71,9% reduziert werden kann. Zukünftige wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen sollten klären, wie das Einhalten der Leitlinien in der präklinischen Notfallversorgung verbessert werden kann.

Abstract

Background

In 2005 revised guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) were published by the European Resuscitation Council replacing the guidelines implemented in the year 2000. The aim of this study was to test the compliance with valid guidelines and to establish the quality of pre-hospital CPR provided by paramedics over a period of 38 months.

Patients and methods

A total of 299 CPRs performed by paramedics of the emergency medical services of Hamburg, Germany between 1st November 2004 and 31st December 2007 were analyzed. Digital recordings of automated external defibrillators and emergency protocol data were analyzed in detail. CPR was judged as incorrect if the defibrillation energy level did not correspond to the valid guidelines or if the interval between defibrillations exceeded a tolerance range of more than 30% compared to the valid guidelines.

Results

All CPRs (299) were included in the analysis of which 197 (65.9%) were intended to follow the 2000 guidelines and 102 (34.1%) the 2005 guidelines. Return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) was achieved in 164 cases (54.8%) and survival to hospital admission in 125 cases (41.8%). CPR was performed accurately according to guidelines in only 26 cases (8.7%). In 273 cases (91.3%) the guidelines were not followed completely. Concerning the translation of guidelines into practice most faults occurred due to wrong intervals (89.3%), wrong defibrillation energy (33.4%) and medical errors, such as defibrillating an asystolic patient (7.0%). Primary survival rates were not significantly different when CPR accurately followed the 2000 or 2005 guidelines (40.1% versus 45.1%). Comparing primary survival rates of cases in which the guidelines were followed completely, there was no significant difference between the 2000 guidelines (15 out of 21 cases 71.4%) and 2005 guidelines (4 out of 5 cases 80.0%). However, compliance with valid guidelines significantly increased primary survival rates compared to non-compliance with valid guidelines (19 out of 26 cases 73.1% versus 106 out of 273 cases 38.8%; p=0.007). This effect was independent of the duration of CPR.

Comparing CPR with monophasic defibrillation (189 cases) or biphasic defibrillation (58 cases), there was a significantly higher rate of ROSC (56.1% versus 72.4%) and a significantly higher rate of primary survival (41.3% versus 56.9%) in favour of biphasic defibrillation.

Conclusion

The results of our study show that compliance with valid guidelines is low and furthermore suggest that compliance with guidelines significantly reduces mortality. Future research may be warranted into the question of how to increase compliance with current CPR guidelines in pre-hospital emergency care.
