Third Annual EMS Research Summit Real-Time CPRQuality Metrics
Background • All monitors used locally can collect data during the performance of CPR • Hands-on time • Compression rates and ratio • Compression depth and other compression information • CPR pauses (e.g., before and after defibrillation, etc.) • Data from these files are useful for crews, agencies, and research.
Local Cardiac Monitor/Defibrillators Three device manufacturers used in the region: • Philips Electronics • Zoll Medical • Medtronic Physio-Control Philips Zoll Medtronic Medtronic
Philips Q-CPR™ Average Compression Rate (per min.) & Depth Compressions Events Timeline Rhythm
Zoll RescueNet™ Chest Compression Depth Compression Rate ECG CPR
Physio-Control Code-Stat™ Events & Assorted Vital Signs Statistics (1-minute intervals) Compressions ROSC Rhythm Compressions
Research Utility Monitor files generate data that can provide: • Individual case information • Research protocol implementation • Time data • Aggregate information • CPR quality across multiple cases • Identification of trends • Information to enhance other available data • Initial rhythm • Outcome data • Medication timing and impact
Previous Research Several studies have recently used data from monitor files: • Large randomized clinical trials • PRIMED • Observational studies • Chest Compression Fraction in VF/VT • Quality of CPR—nationwide feasibility study in Denmark • Randomized studies of feedback • Real-time feedback study—ROC • Feedback study—Germany
Previous Research continued… • Multicenter observational study of 506 CPR files (largest of its kind to date) • Investigated the association of chest compression fraction (CCF)* with survival in patients presenting in VF/VT • Evaluated CCF during the period prior to first shock • Conclusions: • More time spent performing chest compressions in the early phase of resuscitation substantially affects survival • Some questions are unanswered, and further studies are necessary Chest Compression Fraction Determines Survival in Patients with Out-of-Hospital VF • *Proportion of time spent delivering chest compressions.
Agency Value Monitor files, when reviewed with the chart, can aid in: • Chart (incident report) writing • Cardiac arrest management QI/QA • CPR quality review • Protocol compliance • Reasons/Context for pauses in CPR • Best practices for cardiac arrest treatment • Objective measures of time • Agency-specific performance

Conclusions Cardiac monitor file data: • Is useful for objective case review • Can enhance treatment • Can help clarify the timing and effectiveness of protocol changes • Is critical to advancing the science of cardiac arrest care
