8 What s on the EMS Radar screen for 2018? We continue to learn so much about what really Defining, Adopting, Promulgating and makes a difference in cardiac arrest. Subtle Measuring What Really Makes a Difference changes in our approaches to maximizing continuous in Cardiac Arrest perfusion can have a dramatic impact on survival. -Ed Racht, MD -Ed Racht, MD January Newsletter Friday Night [under the] Lights, January

9 Resuscitation: An Unsolved Puzzle

10 No Silver Bullet for CA Management But, Consider this..... A collection of Transformative Technologies

11 U.S. cardiac arrest survival All rhythms: 10% Witnessed VF: 30%

12 Disparity All rhythms: 3% to 30% 10 fold disparity VF witnessed: 4% to 62% 15 fold disparity

13 Where you live should not determine if you live!

14 The Goal >30% Survival >50% >60%

15 How do we get there?

16 What does the science tell us? Is there evidence?

17

18

19 Unaided Manual CPR The cornerstone of resuscitation Generally the first option for rescuers Has remained essentially unchanged for >50 years HQ-CPR only circulates 25-40% of normal blood flow Can we do better? 19

20 CHANGE AHEAD: HIGH-PERFORMANCE HIGH-PERFUSION CPR CPR 20

21 Mechanism of CPR: Heart vs Thoracic Pump

22 The thoracic cavity is like a bellows Compression Passive Recoil Positive Pressure PUSHES air away, fluid out Inhibits blood return Negative Pressure Creates a vacuum PULLS fluid and air in

23 Airway Pressures During Conventional CPR 23

24 Agonal Gasping: Dying Breath Reflex Survival Mechanism: Perfusion

25 Journal of American College of Cardiology September 19, 2017 A major prognostic variable in predicting 1-year survival with favorable brain function 25

26 Effect of Gasping During Cardiac Arrest Airway Ao RA ICP

27 Intrathoracic Pressure Regulation Intrathoracic Pressure Regulation (IPR) is a therapy that enhances negative pressure in the chest and has been shown in studies to effectively improve circulation of blood to the brain and other vital organs. Perfusion

28 Intrathoracic Pressure and Blood Flow As intrathoracic pressure decreases... Blood flow increases Respiration and circulation are closely linked. Dating back to 1967, we have known there is an inverse relationship between intrathoracic pressure and blood flow. Intrathoracic Pressure (cmh 2 O) Blood Flow, Abdominal Vena Cava (l/min -1 ) Moreno et al. Respiratory regulation of splanchnic and systemic venous return. Am J Physiol 1967;213:

29 Evolution: Impedance Threshold Device (ITD) Concept: Lower intrathoracic pressure in the chest during the decompression phase of CPR Enhance venous return to the thorax.

30 Insert: ITD Animation Video

31 Airway Pressures During CPR Conventional CPR CPR with ITD Vacuum is limited as air is drawn in (minimal preload) Enhanced vacuum during chest wall recoil draws more blood back into heart (increases preload) 31

32 Intrathoracic Pressure Regulation: Effect Tracheal Pressure ITPR On Aortic Pressure Intracranial Pressure 30 sec. 32

33 ITD on a Facemask or Advanced Airway Important: Maintain Tight Seal on Mask 33

34 Death by Hyperventilation Ventilation rate: 47/min 34

35 ITD: Clinical Evidence / Experience Clinical research has demonstrated that use of the ITD: Increases survival by 25% or more Doubles blood flow to the heart Increases blood flow to the brain by 50% Doubles systolic blood pressure Lowers intracranial pressure Idris AH, et al.
