Comparison of 15:1, 15:2, and 30:2 Compression‐to‐Ventilation Ratios for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation in a Canine Model of a Simulated, Witnessed Cardiac Arrest

Abstract: Objectives: This experimental study compared the effect of compression-to-ventilation (CV) ratios of 15:1, 15:2, and 30:2 on hemodynamics and resuscitation outcome in a canine model of a simulated, witnessed ventricular fibrillation (VF) cardiac arrest.Methods: Thirty healthy dogs, irrespective of species (mean ± SD, 19.2 ± 2.2 kg), were used in this study. A VF arrest was induced. The dogs received cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and were divided into three groups based on the applied CV ratios of 15:1, 1… Show more

“…CV ratios emphasizing chest compression rate were associated with arterial desaturation, while those favoring frequent ventilation aggravated tissue hypoperfusion. 4,[6][7][8]14 We hypothesized that if one ventilation would be sufficient to maintain arterial oxygenation during CPR, the hands-off time for ventilation would be reduced. For the experiment, we set a 4-second pause for two ventilations or a 2-second pause for a single ventilation.…”

“…11,13 The two consecutive ventilations currently recommended in CPR guidelines might adversely affect resuscitation of the cardiac arrest patient. When two ventilations in a CPR cycle are performed, the rescuer needs to wait for exhalation after the first ventilation, which results in over 4 seconds prolongation of hands-off time 14 and associated risk of decreased chest compression fraction (CCF), which in turn affects the rate of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). 15 In contrast to CPR with two consecutive ventilations, a single ventilation minimizes chest compression interruption because the rescuer does not have to wait for exhalation and in fact promotes it by chest compression.…”

“…We identified very-low-quality evidence (downgraded for very serious risk of bias and indirectness, and serious inconsistency and imprecision) from 10 animal studies [54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63] and 1 human observational study 64 that does not enable us to estimate with confidence the effect of a ventilation rate of 10/ min compared with any other rate for the important outcome of ROSC.…”

“…One method to achieve sufficient tidal volumes may be to stop chest compressions for a short, but undisturbed ventilation pause. This strategy would mean changing the current CPR guidelines [8] and it could reduce blood flow due to discontinued chest compressions [7]. Apart from stopping chest compressions for ventilation or high ventilation pressures, another strategy to achieve adequate tidal volumes may be to slowly inflate the lungs of CPR patients and maintain positive pressure for more than 1 s. This may allow air to perfuse into the lungs for two or three consecutive decompression pauses, resulting in sufficient tidal volumes.…”

“…A current controversial discussion is on the impact of positive pressure ventilation on blood flow during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and to find the "right dose" of ventilation for future CPR strategies [7]. Whereas any ventilation has an impact on blood flow, vice versa any pressure on the chest in ventilated patients has the potential to reduce tidal volumes.…”
