    AimThe American Heart Association (AHA) recommends monitoring cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) quality using end tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) or invasive hemodynamic data. The objective of this study was to evaluate the association between clinician-reported physiologic monitoring of CPR quality and patient outcomes.MethodsProspective observational study of index adult in-hospital CPR events using the AHA's Get With The Guidelines - Resuscitation Registry. Physiologic monitoring was defined using specific database questions regarding use of either ETCO2 or arterial diastolic blood pressure (DBP) to monitor CPR quality. Logistic regression was used to evaluate the association between physiologic monitoring and outcomes in a propensity score matched cohort.ResultsIn the matched cohort, (monitored n=3032; not monitored n=6064), physiologic monitoring of CPR quality was associated with a higher rate of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC; OR 1.22, CI95 1.04-1.43, p=0.017) compared to no monitoring. Survival to hospital discharge (OR 1.04, CI95 0.91-1.18, p=0.57) and survival with favorable neurological outcome (OR 0.97, CI95 0.75-1.26, p=0.83) were not different between groups. Of index events with only ETCO2 monitoring indicated (n=803), an ETCO2 >10mmHg during CPR was reported in 520 (65%), and associated with improved survival to hospital discharge (OR 2.41, CI95 1.35-4.30, p=0.003), and survival with favorable neurological outcome (OR 2.31, CI95 1.31-4.09, p=0.004) compared to ETCO2 ≤10mmHg.ConclusionClinician-reported use of either ETCO2 or DBP to monitor CPR quality was associated with improved ROSC. An ETCO2 >10mmHg during CPR was associated with a higher rate of survival compared to events with ETCO2 ≤10mmHg.Copyright © 2016 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
