Improving quality of resuscitation In order to be able to save the lives of sudden cardiac arrest patients, effective and uninterrupted chest compressions are required. Performing manual chest compressions of high quality is difficult and depends a lot upon the person performing the CPR. The quality of CPR varies time to time and with each compression. Proper depth of chest compressions during CPR creates adequate blood flow and oxygen delivery to the heart and brain. Moreover, a proper rate of chest compressions during CPR is an important determinant of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and survival with good neurological function. As the chest stiffness varies, some patients need much more compression force to meet the same depth of chest compression. Apart from depth, the rate of chest compression and recoil is equally important to have effective CPR results. Nihon Kohden’s new CPR assist supports performing and maintaining high quality CPR. It is also a training tool for ALS and BLS teams with a mannequin to improve and maintain CPR skills.

CPR assist Key points to ensure high-quality CPR 1. Perform chest compressions to a depth of at least 5 cm (2 inches) but not greater than 6 cm (2.4 inches) 2. Perform chest compressions at a rate of 100 to 120/min 3. Minimise interruptions in compressions • CPR assist can communicate with a PC via Bluetooth. • Waveform and measurement values stored in the device during CPR can be reviewed and evaluated on the PC later in a report format with optional QP-551VK defibrillator report viewer software. • These evaluations help you to improve future CPR • CPR assist indicates the speed and depth of...
