Episode notes
CPR Feedback Device Benefits
- Audio-visual CPR feedback devices improve ROSC and survival rates significantly.
- Metronome-only feedback lacks enough evidence to show improvement in outcomes.
Use CPR Feedback Devices
- Use CPR feedback devices in real-time resuscitation and training to improve compression quality.
- Analyze your service's CPR performance data through these devices to identify improvement areas.
Adrenaline in Traumatic Arrest Nuance
- Adrenaline increases ROSC in traumatic cardiac arrest but shows negligible survival benefit.
- Heterogeneity in trauma cases limits generalizing adrenaline use as standard practice.
