1 1 How might GRADE work for ILCOR? Summary of specific components of GRADE using example worksheet Associate Professor Peter Morley Director Medical Education Royal Melbourne Hospital University of Melbourne 10 min

2 2 In adult cardiac arrest (prehospital [OHCA], inhospital [IHCA]), does the use of an ITD (I) compared with no ITD (C), improve any outcomes (e.g. survival) (O)? Worksheet identifier: TBA Author: Peter Morley Affiliation: ANZCOR Taskforce: ALS/BLS Other Worksheet Authors: TBA

3 3 C2015 PICO Population: adult cardiac arrest (prehospital [OHCA], in-hospital [IHCA]) Intervention: the use of an ITD Comparison: compared with no ITD Outcomes Neurologically intact survival (critical 9) Discharge from hospital alive (critical 8) Return of spontaneous circulation (important 6)

4 4 Inclusion/Exclusion/Articles Found Included all studies with concurrent controls. Excluded review articles, studies with historical controls, animal studies, and studies that did not specifically answer the question. Excluded unpublished studies, studies only published in abstract form, unless accepted for publication. 8 Articles Finally Evaluated

11 11 Consensus on Science statements Impedance Threshold Device + Active Compression Decompression CPR (I) vs Standard CPR (C) One RCT enrolling over 2000 OOHCAs [Aufderheide 2011, 301]reported improved neurologically intact survival when the unblinded use of an Impedance Threshold Device and Active Compression Decompression CPR was compared with manual standard CPR. Two RCTs enrolling over 2000 OOHCAs [Aufderheide 2011, 301; Wolcke 2003, 2201] were unable to demonstrate any improvements in survival to hospital discharge when the unblinded use of an Impedance Threshold Device and Active Compression Decompression CPR was compared with manual standard CPR.

12 Draft Treatment Recommendations Impedance Threshold Device + Active Compression Decompression CPR (I) vs Standard CPR (C) There is insufficient evidence to recommend the routine use of the combination of an Impedance Threshold Device and manual active compression decompression cardiopulmonary resuscitation instead of standard CPR (weak recommendation, low quality of evidence).
