Ventilation Rate During Out-of-Hospital CPR • 13 out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients • Ventilation rate measured during CPR • Average ventilation rate: 30±3 per minute (range 15-49) Aufderheide et al. Circulation 2004; 109:1960-5
Adverse Effects of Positive Pressure Ventilation • During CPR for cardiac arrest, positive pressure ventilation increases intra-thoracic pressure, decreases venous return to the chest and decreases blood flow to the heart and to the brain Aufderheide T, Sigurdsson G, Pirrallo R, Yannopoulos D, McKnite S, Briesen Cv, Sparks C, Conrad C, Provo T, Lurie K.

Initiation of Cardiocerebral Resuscitation in Arizona • Although Cardiocerebral Resuscitation (which includes passive oxygen insufflation) was instituted by Kellum et al. in Rock and Walworth Counties, Wisconsin, there was concern that if paramedic/firefighters in the Arizona SHARE program were told that they could not perform endotracheal intubation nor use bag-valve-mask ventilation, that they would not accept Cardiocerebral Resuscitation (CCR). • Accordingly, they were given a choice between passive oxygen insufflation and active bag-valve-mask ventilation.
Hypothesis There would be no difference in survival to hospital discharge for adults with OHCA receiving passive oxygen insufflation and those receiving active bag-valve-mask ventilation as part of the Cardiocerebral Resuscitation EMS Protocol.
Methods • Observational analysis from the prospectively collected SHARE database • IRB approval from the University of Arizona • 11 EMS agencies in Arizona utilizing CCR
Methods: Inclusion Criteria • Age >18 years • Presumed cardiac etiology • Arrest prior to EMS arrival • No obvious signs of death or DNR/DNI
Methods: Documentation Criteria for Airway Management Type • Passive oxygen insufflation • Documented use of a NRB • Active bag-valve-mask ventilation • Documented use of a BVM • Documented ventilation rate
Methods: Outcome Measures • Primary • Survival to hospital discharge: passive oxygen insufflation vs. active bag-valve-mask ventilation • All patients • Witnessed collapse with VF on EMS arrival
Methods: Statistical Analysis • Survival rate to hospital discharge for passive oxygen insufflation vs. active bag-valve-mask ventilation • Chi-square analysis • Logistic regression analysis to determine the survival association of victims receiving passive oxygen insufflation with victims receiving active bag-valve-mask ventilation • A full model was adjusted for age, gender, location of arrest, witnessed, bystander CPR, VF and EMS dispatch to arrival time interval

Limitations • Not a RCT • Limited electronic data
Discussion • Possible beneficial effects of passive oxygen insufflation: • Minimizes risks of hyperventilation • May enable providers to focus on chest compressions and epinephrine administration • May avoid gastric distention, vomiting and aspiration
Future Directions • Ongoing data collection and monitoring • Further evaluation with electronic waveform data
Conclusion - 1 Overall, there was no difference in the survival of adults with OHCA receiving passive oxygen insufflation compared to those receiving active bag-valve-mask ventilationduring Cardiocerebral Resuscitation in Arizona.
Conclusion - 2 The survival rate of adults with witnessed VF OHCA was superior in victims receiving passive oxygen insufflation than in victims receiving active bag-valve-mask ventilationduring Cardiocerebral Resuscitation in Arizona.
