  • Regional cerebral oxygen saturation during cardiopulmonary resuscitation as a predictor of return of spontaneous circulation and favourable neurological outcome – A review of the current literature

    2018, Resuscitation
    Citation Excerpt :

    It is also unclear which rSO2 value (initial, mean, highest or the change in rSO2 over the course of CPR) is most informative [13]. Several studies conducted in the field of OHCA and IHCA report rather variable results [6,10–12,14–38]. Although a recent review provided an overview of the topic [13], sensitive thresholds required for prognostication have not been assessed.

  • Monitoring of brain oxygenation during hypothermic CPR - A prospective porcine study

    2016, Resuscitation
    Citation Excerpt :

    The majority of studies focused on the prognostic significance of the regional cerebral oxygenation saturation (rSO2) for restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC)6–10 and for neurological outcome.11 Preliminary data suggest that rSO2 may also be a valuable parameter for assessing CPR efficiency by monitoring cerebral oxygenation during external chest compression.14 So far, it is not proven whether changes in cerebral oxygenation are reliably reflected by parallel changes in rSO2.

  • Emergency extracorporeal life support after prolonged out-of-hospital cardiac arrest

    2014, Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia
    Citation Excerpt :

    The authors assume that the combination of mechanical chest compression and vasopressor support increased coronary perfusion pressure enough to allow restoration of a perfusing rhythm. An additional strategy to improve CPR quality is to provide feedback on systemic blood flow by extended monitoring.14 Monitoring of invasive arterial blood pressure15 and end-tidal CO216 have been reported to improve efficacy of manual chest compressions.

  • LUCAS compared to manual cardiopulmonary resuscitation is more effective during helicopter rescue - A prospective, randomized, cross-over manikin study

    2013, American Journal of Emergency Medicine
    Citation Excerpt :

    Mechanical chest-compression devices deliver uninterrupted chest-compressions of a predefined depth and rate. Thus, chest-compression devices may play an important role in maintaining good quality CPR in specific circumstances where CPR is difficult to perform, for example, helicopter transport, or when CPR has to be performed over a long period, for example, during hypothermic cardiac arrest [5,6]. However, data supporting this assumption are limited [7].
