Abstract
Introduction: Standard cardiopulmonary resuscitation (STD-CPR) is successful in only 10-15% of cases in emergency department (ED). This study aimed to determine the effect of interposed abdominal compression (IAC) during resuscitation on outcomes of ED cardiac arrests.
Methods: In this randomized clinical trial study, non-trauma patients aged 18-85 years, patients with in-hospital cardiac arrest hospitalized in the ED were randomly assigned into two either STD-CPR or IAC-CPR group on a 1:1 basis and using computer-generated random numbers. Participants in the intervention group, received abdominal compression during the diastole phase of STD-CPR. The rate of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), arterial blood gas (ABG) indicators, and survival rate were compared between the two groups.
Results: Ninety patients were enrolled (45 in each group). There were no differences between the two groups regarding age (p = 0.76), sex (p = 0.39), employment status (p = 0.62) and Charlson comorbidity scale (p = 0.46). Abdominal compression had a positive effect on heart rate (p < 0.001), mean arterial pressure (p = 0.003), arterial blood oxygen pressure (p = 0.001), and arterial blood carbon dioxide pressure (p = 0.001) as well as a negative effect on arterial blood oxygen saturation (p = 0.029) 30 minutes after resuscitation. Out of the 90 CPR cases, 8 (17.7%) cases in intervention group and 8 (17.7%) cases in control group were successful, among which all of the 8 patients in the intervention group and 5 of the patients in the control group had been discharged from hospital without any complications.
Conclusion: The results showed that abdominal compression during CPR can improve resuscitation outcomes in patients with cardiac arrest. Therefore, in order to use this technique, further research is recommended.
