Abstract:ObjectiveDuring neonatal resuscitation, the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) can be achieved using epinephrine which optimises coronary perfusion by increasing diastolic pressure. Abdominal compression (AC) applied during resuscitation could potentially increase diastolic pressure and therefore help achieve ROSC. We assessed the use of AC during resuscitation of asystolic newborn lambs, with and without epinephrine.MethodsNear-term fetal lambs were instrumented for physiological monitoring and after de… Show more
