Methods for calculating ventilation rates during resuscitation from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest

Mechanical active compression-decompression versus standard mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation: A randomised haemodynamic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest study

“…[161] With high performing algorithms for ventilation detection and ventilation frequency calculation already developed, the impact of a reliable TTI based tidal volume calculations would be of great help for the CPR provider to reliably adhere to current guidelines for ventilation during CPR, suggesting tidal volumes of 400 to 600 ml to be adequate. [71,162] However, as highlighted in the Lesimple et al study, the tidal volume that best balances tidal volumes and circulation may vary greatly. If this holds up in future investigations, it will increase the need for tidal volume feedback to be enable treatment adjustments accordingly.…”
