ABSTRACT

Aim:

Current guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) recommend a one-size-fits-all approach in relation to the positioning of chest compressions. We recently developed RescueDoppler, a hands-free Doppler ultrasound device for continuous monitoring of carotid blood flow velocity during CPR. The aim of the present study is to investigate whether RescueDoppler via real-time hemodynamic feedback, could identify both optimal and suboptimal compression positions.

Methods:

In this model of animal cardiac arrest, we induced ventricular fibrillation in five domestic pigs. Manual chest compressions were performed for ten seconds at three different positions on the sternum in random order and repeated six times. We analysed Time Average Velocity (TAV) with chest compression position as a fixed effect and animal, position, and sequential time within animals as random effects. Furthermore, we compared TAV to invasive blood pressure from the contralateral carotid artery.

Results:

We were able to detect changes in TAV when altering positions. The positions with the highest (range 19 to 48 cm/s) and lowest (6-25 cm/s) TAV were identified in all animals, with corresponding peak pressure 50-81 mmHg, and 46-64 mmHg, respectively. Blood flow velocity was, on average, highest at the middle position (TAV 33 cm/s), but with significant variability between animals (SD 2.8) and positions within the same animal (SD 9.3).

Conclusion:

RescueDoppler detected TAV changes during CPR with alternating chest compression positions, identifying the position yielding maximal TAV. Future clinical studies should investigate if RescueDoppler can be used as a real-time hemodynamical feedback device to guide compression position.
