The American Heart Association (2015) recommended use of therapeutic hypothermia (TH) in cardiac arrest victims who have a
return of spontaneous circulation.
sup][5] Epinephrine is vital to improving the
return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC).
The groups were compared in terms of gender, age, initial rhythm, cardiopulmonary resuscitation durations, cardiopulmonary resuscitation results (exitus, return),
return of spontaneous circulation rates observed after cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and neurological outcome responses of the cases in which
return of spontaneous circulation was observed.
CPR, cardiopulmonary resuscitation; ED, emergency department; ROSC,
return of spontaneous circulation.
Results: PetCO2 levels of the
Return of Spontaneous Circulation (ROSC) group in the 5th 10th 15th and20th minutes were significantly higher compared to the exitus group (p less than 0.
A
return of spontaneous circulation was reestablished and electrocardiography showed third degree atrioventricular block with wide ventricular complexes.
Of the four asystolic SCA patients Limon Ambulance Service treated this year, three achieved a
return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and one survived to discharge.
He further pointed out that in this case, the patient had what is known in medical terms as a
Return of Spontaneous Circulation (ROSC), which can happen after a cardiac arrest.
After one additional minute of CPR, there was
return of spontaneous circulation as evidenced by a femoral pulse.
There also were no differences between the two groups in several subgroup analyses, including survival to hospital admission, survival to hospital discharge regardless of functional status, and
return of spontaneous circulation by arrival at the emergency department.
The risk of death rose by 20 percent for each hour of delay between the
return of spontaneous circulation and cooling.
The Capnocheck[R] does not need routine calibration and has multiple applications (intubation verification, an indicator for
return of spontaneous circulation, routine airway management, ventilator transport & weaning).
