Summary

The investigators conducted a randomized, controlled, single-blinded study of patients undergoing CPR for cardiac arrest in the mixed medical-surgical ICUs of four academic teaching hospitals in Tehran, Iran from June 1 to October 31, 2014. Patients were randomized to receive CPR with either standard manual compression, or compression with real-time audiovisual feedback using the Cardio First Angel™ device.

Conditions

  • Cardiopulmonary Arrest

Interventions

DEVICE

Compression with Feedback

Patients in the intervention group received CPR in accordance to published guidelines using the CFA device per manufacturer instructions. The Cardio First Angel™ (CFA; INOTECH, Nubberg, Germany) is a lightweight device that consists of three components . Application of400 ± 30 Newtons of force (41 kg or 90 lb of pressure), which correlates toa sternum compression depth of 50-60 mm, is followed by an audible "click" sound to alert the rescuer to cease compression. The "click" sound is also audible upon spring decompression alerting the rescuer to resume compression. The device does not require an electrical power supply.

OTHER

Standard chest compression

CPR in accordance with published international guidelines using standard manual chest compression.
