Overview

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is an emergency medical procedure Which can be crucial to save lives. CPR is used for victims of cardiac and respiratory arrest. CPR can be performed in hospitals by medical team, or in the community by laypersons or emergency response professionals. CPR consists of artificial blood circulation and artificial respiration (i.e. chest compression and lung ventilation). CPR is generally continued, usually in the presence of advanced life support, until the patient regains a heart beat (called "return of spontaneous circulation" or "ROSC") or is declared dead. CPR is unlikely to restart the heart, but rather its purpose is to maintain a flow of oxygenated blood to the brain and the heart, thereby delaying tissue death and extending the brief window of opportunity for a successful resuscitation without permanent brain damage. Defibrillation and advanced life support are usually needed to restart the heart.

Historical Perspective

  • CPR has been known in theory, if not practice, for many hundreds or even thousands of years; some claim it is described in the Bible, discerning a superficial similarity to CPR in a passage from the Books of Kings (II 4:34), wherein the Hebrew prophet Elisha warms a dead boy's body and "places his mouth over his".
  • The association of a dead body with a cooler temperature lead to popular use of heating a body in hopes of bringing it back to life. This idea gave birth to the Heat Method which included applying hot ashes , hot water and even warm animal excreta.
  • This was followed by the Flagellation Method, which included whipping the patient in attempts to assist them into breathing again .
  • Bellows Method developed by the German-Swiss physician Paracelsus in the 1500s.[1] This method included using a goldsmiths bellows to fill air into a patients chest . This method was used successfully for centuries. Its success was hampered after a French physician Leroy d’Etiolles, in 1829 explained affects of deleterious affects of barotrauma.
  • in the 1700s inspired by the Native Americans called Fumigation that involved blowing tobacco up the rectum in hopes to revive the patient. It was later discontinued when the the harmful effects of tobacco were explained by Benjamin Brodie in 1811.[2]
  • This was followed by the popularity of hanging a person to expel air out of the lung called Inversion. Roots of this method were inspired from Egyptians used to resuscitate patients after drowning.[1]
  • Barrel Method entailed putting the victim on barrel and rolling him in an effort to compress the chest. This back and forth motion would expel the air and as the compression is relieved to fill the air chest with fresh air.
  • Drowning remaining the leading cause of death resulted in the formation of multiple societies which included The Royal Humane Society .They worked on saving people from drowning, freezing,strangulation and poising by noxious gases.Following its formation in time period of 4 years they claimed that they assisted in saving lives of up-to 150 people. they issued recommendations including warming the patient, removing any thing the patient might be choking on, bellows method along with mouth to mouth and mouth to nostril, rectal or oral fumigation using tobacco and bloodletting.
  • In the 1803 a rather unique method came into being based on therapeutic hypothermia; termed as the Russian Method. This included the burying the victim under a bed of snow.

*The Royal Humane Society's methods were challenged in the late 1800 by Marshall Hall. He believed the first step in resuscitation should be return of respiration. He advocated 'proning' based on the principle that laying a person in a supine position would result in the tongue falling back hindering respiration. The weight of the body would help compress the thorax helping with expiration. This was followed by truing the patient to the side in order to relieve the pressure and aid in inspiration. In 1856 he published " The Ready Method of Asphyxia " with some alterations. this emphasized the need to carry it out at any place and time necessary.

  • However, internal compression to restore circulation remained popular. Igelsurd and Arbuthnoth Lane restored circulation during abdominal or thoracic surgeries via open chest massage of the heart. This procedure had a documented success in 1/3 of the cases.
    • In the 19th century, doctor H. R. Silvester described a method (The Silvester Method) of artificial respiration in which the patient is laid on their back, and their arms are raised above their head to aid inhalation and then pressed against their chest to aid exhalation.[3]The procedure is repeated sixteen times per minute. This type of artificial respiration is occasionally seen in films made in the early part of the 20th century.
  • A second technique, called the Holger Neilson technique, described in the first edition of the Boy Scout Handbook in the United States in 1911, described a form of artificial respiration where the person was laid on their front, with their head to the side, and a process of lifting their arms and pressing on their back was utilized, essentially the Silvester Method with the patient flipped over. This form is seen well into the 1950s (it is used in an episode of Lassie during the Jeff Miller era), and was often used, sometimes for comedic effect, in theatrical cartoons of the time (see Tom and Jerry's "The Cat and the Mermouse"). This method would continue to be shown, for historical purposes, side-by-side with modern CPR in the Boy Scout Handbook until its ninth edition in 1979.

However it wasn't until the middle of the 20th century that the wider medical community started to recognize and promote it as a key part of resuscitation following cardiac arrest. Peter Safar wrote the book ABC of resuscitation in 1957. In the U.S., it was first promoted as a technique for the public to learn in the 1970s.

Use in Cardiac arrest

The medical term for the condition in which a person's heart has stopped is cardiac arrest[4] (also referred to as cardiorespiratory arrest). CPR is used on patients in cardiac arrest in order to oxygenate the blood and maintain a cardiac output to keep vital organs alive.

Blood circulation and oxygenation are absolute requirements in transporting oxygen to the tissues. The brain may sustain damage after blood flow has been stopped for about four minutes and irreversible damage after about seven minutes. If blood flow ceases for 1 or 2 hours, the cells of the body die unless they get an adequately gradual bloodflow, (provided by cooling and gradual warming, rarely, in nature [such as in a cold stream of water] or by an advanced medical team). Because of that CPR is generally only effective if performed within 7 minutes of the stoppage of blood flow.[5] The heart also rapidly loses the ability to maintain a normal rhythm. Low body temperatures as sometimes seen in drowning prolong the time the brain survives. Following cardiac arrest, effective CPR enables enough oxygen to reach the brain to delay brain death, and allows the heart to remain responsive to defibrillation attempts.

If the patient still has a pulse, but is not breathing, this is called respiratory arrest and artificial respiration is more appropriate. However, since people often have difficulty detecting a pulse, CPR may be used in both cases, especially when taught as first aid (see below).

First aid

CPR is part of the chain of survival, which includes early access (to emergency medical services), early CPR, early defibrillation, and early advanced care.[6] Some first aid trainers also advocate the performance of CPR as part of the choking protocol, if all else has failed.[7]

Sudden cardiac arrest is a leading cause of death, happening to approximately one in 360,000 people per year in the USA.[8] CPR can double or triple the victim's chances of survival when commenced immediately (see 'effectiveness' below). According to United States 'Annals of Emergency Medicine', only 25% of victims of a witnessed cardiac arrest are administered CPR by a bystander, with a further 33% receiving some CPR as a result of dispatcher instructions. This leaves 41% of victims receiving no CPR prior to the arrival of the emergency medical services.[9]

Rapid access to defibrillation is also vital. The most common cause of cardiac arrest outside of a hospital is ventricular fibrillation (VF), a potentially fatal arrhythmia that is usually (but not always) caused by a heart attack and is responsive to defibrillation. Other causes of cardiac arrest include drowning, drug overdose, poisoning, electrocution.

First aid training

CPR is taught to the general public in order to increase the chance to CPR being performed in the crucial few minutes before emergency personnel are available. Purposes of AHA in 2010 was performing CPR by observer or by the patient with least or even no facilities.[10]

CPR is a practical proficiency and needs professional guide followed up by ordered practice on a resuscitation mannequin to gain and maintain full competency.

In most CPR classes, a simple mnemonic is used to aid memory of the clinical approach to the unconscious patient and CPR. The most common one used worldwide was ABC which changed to CAB based on AHA guideline since 2010 which stands for Circulation, Airway and Breathing.[10]

CPR skills are not confined to medical professionals, but are regularly taught to members of the public. Widespread knowledge of CPR has a community benefit, as CPR must be applied quickly after a patients heart has stopped. Early CPR in the community is essential to the prevention of brain damage during a cardiac arrest and increases the chance of survival. CPR maintains the blood flow and perfusion to the brain, buying time until a defibrillator and professional medical help arrives.

It is considered best to obtain training in CPR before a medical emergency occurs, although some modern ambulance dispatchers will talk an untrained lay rescuer through the process over the phone, whilst the crew is en-route. For the most effective results, hands-on training should be given by an expert. This will enable the person to perform CPR more safely and more effectively. Most organizations adherent regular practice, and keep training in the skills, and necessarily ensure that the person is up to date with the latest guidelines, which change periodically based on the new outputs.

First aid training, including CPR is often provided by a community organization or charity (with or without a fee), with international providers including the Red Cross and St. John Ambulance, or more local providers such as St. Andrew's Ambulance Association in Scotland or the American Heart Association in the United States. There are also many commercial organizations, who train members of the public or workers, where the course is paid for by employers who wish, or are required by law, to have trained first aiders on site.

Classification

Based on place,equipment an the patient's age we have different type of resuscitation:

Guidelines

The last comprehensive guideline of American Heart Association (AHA) based on widespread evidence review of International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) was published in 2015.[11] When you see someone's fainting or there is a possibility of cardiac or pulmonary arrest. If you are EMT, medical profession, or have enough experience in CPR, you can check a pulse, but in laypersons just checking a breath is enough. If there is no pulse or breath you can start the process of CPR. Please be aware that time is the most vital factor in CPR. The sooner the CPR begins, The higher chance of a patient's survival. At first:

  • Check the safety of environment
  • Check pulse and breath in less than 10 seconds
  • Activates the Emergency Response System
  • Ask for help.
  • Perform CAB.
  • AED: Get AED (Automated external defibrillator) as soon as possible if feasible
  • Looking for the cause of arrest and solve it if possible.

To have the best outcome in CPR following things should be accomplished :

  • Ratio: compression-ventilation ratio for all age groups (except newborns) is 30:2 for one-rescuer and is 15:2 for children and infants for two-rescuer (except newborns).
  • Rate: chest compression rate of 100-120 pushed a minute in all age groups. More than 120 per minute does not let the cardiac to refill in chest recoil duration and less than 100 is not enough to pump blood to brain.So nor more than 120 and less than 100 chest compression per minute.
  • Depth: Between 2-2.4 inches ( 5-6 centimeters ) for adults, 2 inches for children and approximately 1.5 inches for infants.
  • Interruptions: Try to minimize interruptions of chest compression.
  • Ventilation : Do not hyperventilate the patient. when the patient have advanced airway there is no need to stop chest compression for ventilation in 30:2 ratio, continue the chest compression and perform 1 breath every 6 seconds.
  • If there is suspicious of opioid toxicity, inject Naloxone if available.
  • Check the pulse and rhythm every 2 minutes ( in less than 10 seconds).
  • Shock: Shock if the heart rhythm of the victim is Supraventricular Tachycardia, Ventricular Fibrillation or Ventricular Tachycardia (AED detect abnormal rhythms). Announce the warning of shock.
  • After shock, continue chest compression for 2 minutes then check a central pulse.

-Approximately all of the above guidelines are same in all types of CPR, now we want to focus on special features of each :

Adult Basic Life Support :

Adult Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support :

  • Place an endotracheal tube when if the patient is hypercapnic

Pediatric Basic Life Support:

  • ventilation is more important in infants. so chest compression plus active ventilation for children and infants is class I recommendation.[14]

Pediatric Advanced Life Support:

Neonatal Resuscitation:[16]

  • Ratio: For neonatal resuscitation ratio of chest compression-ventilation is 3:1
  • In resuscitation of newborns with ≥35 weeks of gestation use 21% oxygen, and in premature newborns ( less than 35 weeks of gestation) use 21-30% oxygen.Do not use 100 % oxygen which increase rate of death in newborns.[16]

Prevalence and Effectiveness

Chance of getting CPR

About 46% of victims of OHCA get immediate CPR by bystanders."CPR Facts and Stats | American Heart Association CPR & First Aid".

There is a clear correlation between age and the chance of CPR being commenced, with younger people being far more likely to have CPR attempted on them prior to the arrival of emergency medical services.[17][18] It was also found that CPR was more commonly given by a bystander in public, than when an arrest occurred in the patient's home, although health care professionals are responsible for more than half of out-of-hospital resuscitation attempts.[19] This is supported by further research, which suggests that people with no connection to the victim are more likely to perform CPR than a member of their family.[20]

There is also a correlation between the cause of arrest and the likelihood of bystander CPR being initiated. Lay persons are most likely to give CPR to younger cardiac arrest victims in a public place when it has a medical cause; victims in arrest from trauma, exsanguination or intoxication are less likely to receive CPR.[20]

Chance of getting CPR in time

CPR is only likely to be effective if commenced within 6 minutes after the blood flow stops,[21] because permanent brain cell damage occurs when fresh blood infuses the cells after that time, since the cells of the brain become dormant in as little as 4-6 minutes in an oxygen deprived environment and the cells are unable to survive the reintroduction of oxygen in a traditional resuscitation. Research using cardioplegic blood infusion resulted in a 79.4% survival rate with cardiac arrest intervals of 72±43 minutes, traditional methods achieve a 15% survival rate in this scenario, by comparison. New research is currently needed to determine what role CPR, electroshock, and new advanced gradual resuscitation techniques will have with this new knowledge[22] A notable exception is cardiac arrest occurring in conjunction with exposure to very cold temperatures. Hypothermia seems to protect the victim by slowing down metabolic and physiologic processes, greatly decreasing the tissues' need for oxygen.[23] There are cases where CPR, defibrillation, and advanced warming techniques have revived victims after substantial periods of hypothermia.[24]

Chance of surviving

Used alone, CPR will result in few complete recoveries, and those that do survive often develop serious complications. Estimates vary, but many organizations stress that CPR does not "bring anyone back," it simply preserves the body for defibrillation and advanced life support.[25] However, in the case of "non-shockable" rhythms such as Pulseless Electrical Activity (PEA), defibrillation is not indicated, and the importance of CPR rises. On average, only 5%-10% of people who receive CPR survive.[26] The purpose of CPR is not to "start" the heart, but rather to circulate oxygenated blood, and keep the brain alive until advanced care (especially defibrillation) can be initiated. As many of these patients may have a pulse that is impalpable by the layperson rescuer, the current consensus is to perform CPR on a patient that is not breathing. A pulse check is not required in basic CPR since it is so often missed when present, or even felt when absent, even by health care professionals.

Studies have shown the importance of immediate CPR followed by defibrillation within 3–5 minutes of sudden VF cardiac arrest improve survival. In cities such as Seattle where CPR training is widespread and defibrillation by EMS personnel follows quickly, the survival rate is about 30 percent. In cities such as New York City, without those advantages, the survival rate is only 1-2 percent.[27]

Type of Arrest ROSC Survival Source
Witnessed In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest 48% 22% [28]
Unwitnessed In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest 21% 1% [28]
Bystander Cardiocerebral Resuscitation 40% 6% [29]
Bystander Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation 40% 4% [29]
No Bystander CPR (Ambulance CPR) 15% 2% [29]
Defibrillation within 3-5 minutes 74% 30% [25][27]

Chest compression adjuncts

Several different devices have become available in order to help facilitate rescuers in getting the chest compressions completed correctly. These devices can be split in to three broad groups - timing devices, those that assist the rescuer to achieve the correct technique, especially depth and speed of compressions, and those which take over the process completely.

Timing devices

They can feature a metronome (an item carried by many ambulance crews) in order to assist the rescuer in getting the correct rate. The CPR trainer cited here has timed indicators for pressing on the chest, breathing and changing operators.

Manual Assist devices

These items can be devices to placed on top of the chest, with the rescuers hands going over the device, and a display giving information on depth or force.[30] Several published evaluations of one particular product, known as CPREzy, with these features show that the device can improve the performance of chest compressions.[31][32] More recently, these features have also been combined in to a wearable format, as a glove.[33] This glove also has additional features such as a basic electro-cardiogram device. This device was developed by students as part of their thesis, and has been named as one of the top ten inventions of 2007 in Popular Science magazine.[34]

Automatic devices

There are also some devices available which take over the chest compressions for the rescuer. These devices use techniques such as pneumatics to drive a compressing pad on to the chest of the patient. One such device, known as the LUCAS, was developed at Lund University, is powered by the compressed air cylinders or lines available in ambulances or in hospitals, and has undergone numerous clinical trials, showing a marked improvement in coronary perfusion pressure[35] and return of spontaneous circulation.[36]

Another system called the AutoPulse is electrically powered and uses a large band around the patients chest which contracts in rhythm in order to deliver chest compressions. This is also backed by clinical studies showing increased successful return of spontaneous circulation.[37][38]

Alternative Methods

Cardiocerebral Resuscitation

Use of impedance threshold device (ITD) is not recommended based on studies.[11]

The International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) approach described above has been challenged in recent years by advocates for Cardiocerebral Resuscitation (CCR). CCR is simply chest compressions without artificial respiration. The ventilation component of CPR has been a topic of major controversy over the past decade.

In March 2007, a Japanese study in the medical journal The Lancet presented strong evidence that compressing the chest, not MTM ventilation, is the key to helping someone recover from cardiac arrest.[39]

The CCR method is championed by the University of Arizona's Sarver Heart Center, and a recent study by the university,[40] claims a 300% greater success rate over standard CPR.[41] The exceptions were in the case of drowning or drug overdose.

An editorial by Gordon Ewy MD (a proponent of CCR) in the same issue of The Lancet calls for an interim revision of the AHA/ILCOR Guidelines based on the results of the Japanese study, but the next scheduled revision of the Guidelines is not until 2010. The initial response of the AHA was that no interim change is necessary.

Rhythmic Abdominal Compressions

Rhythmic abdominal compression-CPR works by forcing blood from the blood vessels around the abdominal organs, an area known to contain about 25 percent of the body's total blood volume. This blood is then redirected to other sites, including the circulation around the heart. Findings published in the September 2007 issue of the American Journal of Emergency Medicine using pigs found that 60 percent more blood was pumped to the heart using rhythmic abdominal compression-CPR than with standard chest compression-CPR, using the same amount of effort. There was no evidence that rhythmic abdominal compressions damaged the abdominal organs and the risk of rib fracture was avoided. Avoiding mouth-to-mouth breathing and chest compressions eliminates the risk of rib fractures and transfer of infection.[42]

Self-CPR

A form of "self-CPR" termed "Cough CPR" may help a person maintain blood flow to the brain during a heart attack while waiting for medical help to arrive and has been used in a hospital emergency room in cases where "standard CPR" was contraindicated.

"Cough CPR" was the subject of a hoax chain e-mail entitled "How to Survive a Heart Attack When Alone" which wrongly cited "ViaHealth Rochester, Rochester General Hospital" as the source of the technique. Rochester General Hospital has denied any connection with the technique.[43][44]

Rapid coughing has been used in hospitals for brief periods of cardiac arrhythmia on monitored patients. One researcher has recommended that it be taught broadly to the public.[45][46]

However, “cough CPR” cannot be used outside the hospital because the first symptom of cardiac arrest is unconsciousness[47] in which case coughing is impossible. Further, the vast majority of people suffering chest pain from a heart attack will not be in cardiac arrest and CPR is not needed. In these cases attempting “cough CPR” will increase the workload on the heart and may be harmful. When coughing is used on trained and monitored patients in hospitals, it has only been shown to be effective for 90 seconds.[48]

The American Heart Association (AHA) and other resuscitation bodies,[49] do not endorse "Cough CPR", which it terms a misnomer as it is not a form of resuscitation. The AHA does recognize a limited legitimate use of the coughing technique:

"This coughing technique to maintain blood flow during brief arrhythmias has been useful in the hospital, particularly during cardiac catheterization. In such cases the patients ECG is monitored continuously, and a physician is present."[50]

Place in film and television

CPR is often severely misrepresented in movies and television as being highly effective in resuscitating a person who is not breathing and has no circulation.

A 1996 study published in the New England Journal of Medicine showed that CPR success rates in television shows was 75%.[51]

It is important to note that CPR techniques portrayed on television and in film are purposely incorrect. Actors performing simulated CPR will keep their elbows bent, to prevent force from reaching the fictional victim's heart. As well as causing significant local trauma, in theory performing CPR on healthy persons may disrupt heart rhythms.

Application on animals

It is entirely feasible to perform CPR on animals like cats and dogs. The principles and practices are virtually identical to CPR for humans. One is cautioned to only perform CPR on unconscious animals to avoid the risk of being bitten.[52]
