Correlation Between End-tidal CO2 and Degree of Compression of Heart During CPR Measured by Ultrasound

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Clinical Trial

Official title:
Correlation Between End-tidal CO2 and Degree of Compression of Heart Cavities Measured by Transthoracic Ultrasound During Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation for Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest

Clinical Trial Summary

Individual optimization of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in real time may increase the success rate of the procedure. End-tidal CO2 (EtCO2) levels reflect cardiac output induced by CPR. Other potential marker of haemodynamic efficacy of CPR is direct measurement of the extent of induced compression of left ventricle (LV), right ventricle (RV) and inferior caval vein (IVC) by ultrasound. We plane to evaluate whether these ultrasound parameters correlate with EtCO2 levels during CPR for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) of non-traumatic origin.

Clinical Trial Description

Pre-hospital observational study will be realized in the setting of physician-based Emergency Medical System in the Czech republic. 20 patients resuscitated for OHCA of nontraumatic origin are planned to be included to the study. Transthoracic echocardiography will be performed from subcostal view during ongoing chest compressions in all of them and in the time of this investigation EtCO2 level will be recorded. This will be repeated three times during CPR in each patient if possible. Later on, maximal and minimal diameter of LV, RV and IVC will be obtained from the recorded loops and compression index (%) of LV (LVCI), RV (RVCI) and IVC (IVCCI) will be calculated as (maximal-minimal/maximal cavital diameter)x100. Correlations between EtCO2 and LVCI, RVCI and IVCI and CImax will be expressed as Spearman's correlation coefficient.

The results of the study will answer the question whether echocardiographic evaluation of compression of heart cavities during CPR reflect haemodynamic efficacy of CPR. If so, this study will be followed by an interventional clinical trial evaluating the effect of compression depth changes as a response to measured compression of the heart. ;
