Advantages of Open Chest Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (OCCPR)
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 June 2012
Extract
Introduction: Although the hemodynamic superiority of open chest cardiopulmonary resuscitation has long been recognized, its advantages with respect to the brain have only recently been investigated. Yashon demonstrated the ability of open chest CPR to maintain EEG activity during prolonged resuscitation. Alifimoff showed improved cerebral reco-very in dogs after open chest CPR. Byrne has demonstrated that internal cardiac massage can provide nearly normal cerebral blood flow in dogs as opposed to the 30% of normal seen during standard CPR, which consists of 60 chest compressions per min with a ventilation interposed after every fifth compression and 50% compression duration.
