The Impact of Real Time Ventilation Feedback on Ventilation Rate and Tidal Volume During Cardiac Arrest.

The Impact of Real Time Ventilation Feedback on Ventilation Rate and Tidal Volume During Cardiac Arrest.

During out-of-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation, patient are first ventilated without ventilation feedback (but with a flowsensor connected), hereafter patients are ventilated with the use of ventilation feedback.

During cardiac arrest, patients are intubated, ventilation is performed using a manual resuscitator. Hereafeter, a flowsensor is connected. During the first cycle, patients are ventilated without any feedback (whilst the sensor is recording the delivered ventilation). During the second cycle, realtime delivered flow is shown on the screen, informing the user on the delivered ventilation volume and ventilation rate. Data is saved automatically after use.
