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

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.
