Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Clinical Trial
[Evaluation of efficiency of ACD-CPR and STD-CPR; a multi-institutional study].
We compared the efficacy of ACD-CPR and STD-CPR based on 64 multi-institutional reports. No significant differences were observed in the rate of restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and in cardiopulmonary parameters during CPR using the two methods. ⋯ ETCO2 never exceeded 20 mmHg in the non-ROSC cases, but it was higher in the ROSC cases. ACD-CPR is a good choice when trained persons are present or when extra hands are available to continue the CPR.
