Continuous Chest Compressions Trial
Final version 1, 03-30-2011
Final version 1, 03-30-2011
• Describe the rationale for continuous chest compressions (CCC) & 30:2, as they integrate with the upcoming trial.
• Demonstrate the ROC CCC/30:2 protocol including: CAB assessment Efficient application of the AED/defibrillator at the same time chest
compressions started Integrated responder approach and provision of care Maintenance of compressions including depth, release & rate Ventilation timing and volume
Training ObjectivesAfter this program you will be able to:
Final version 1, 03-30-2011
• Traditional CPR—30 chest compressions: 2 ventilations
• Pauses in CPR chest compressions are associated with a decrease in coronary and cerebral perfusion pressure.
• Many EMS agencies using CCC—an alternative style of CPR. Unclear whether survival is higher with CCC or 30:2 CPR.
• There are no randomized trials. We do not know if CCC or 30:2 CPR is better. A randomized controlled trial is the only way to know which
approach is better.
Continuous Chest Compressions (CCC)
Final version 1, 03-30-2011
Purpose of the Study
To compare the effect of “CCC” CPR versus
“30:2” CPR on outcomes following out-of-
hospital cardiac arrest.
Final version 1, 03-30-2011
• “CCC” CPR Alternative style of CPR
Continuous chest compressions with no pauses
Ventilation: One BVM ventilation every 10 chest compressions (10:1), with no pause in compressions
• “30:2” CPR Usual style of CPR
Chest compressions with pauses for ventilation
Ventilation: Two BVM ventilations every 30 chest compressions (30:2), with pause in compressions
Interventions―Two Styles of Chest Compressions
Final version 1, 03-30-2011
Randomization• By agency groups, for fixed time period (e.g. CCC
x 6 months) → cross-over to opposite arm (30:2)
• Assigned CPR treatment arm (CCC or 30:2) will be the “standard of care” for all patients during study period except . . .
– Peds
– Obvious respiratory arrest
• Afterward, ROC will determine patient eligiblity/ineligibility for inclusion in study
– e.g. prisoners, pregnancy, oPt out, DNAR, EMS-witnessed arrest, trauma

• If ALS is early on scene . . . insert IV/IO early Give epinephrine or vasopressin early
• CCC gets BVM at 10:1 One breath between every 10th chest compression Deliver each rescue breath over 1 sec to produce chest rise No break in chest compressions
• 30:2 gets standard AHA BVM ventilation 30 chest compressions—break for 2 ventilations Deliver each rescue breath over 1 sec to produce chest rise

Choreographing the Perfect Arrest Management Pit Stop• Work as a team.
• Each team member has a pre-assigned responsibility. For example: CPR Manage airway/BVM Attach and operate monitor/defibrillator Insert IV/IO—give drugs
• Must rotate CPR compressor every2 minutes.
• Assign someone to time compression cycles and record events.
• Best to choreograph prior to arrival.

Questions & Answers
?
Final version 1, 03-30-2011
• Assess CAB—confirmed arrest
• Check time, assign documentation, and turn on monitor/defibrillator
• Immediately start CPR (check and record time, or delegate timing)
• Apply defibrillation pads as soon as possible during CPR
• ASAP BVM at 10:1 or 30:2
• Coordinate 2-minute rotations, rhythm checks, and defibrillation (if shock indicated)
• If ALS on-scene early, start IV/IO during CPR
What should we do when we arrive on scene?

Final version 1, 03-30-2011
• Shock as required• If CPR required after shock, perform in accordance
with assigned treatment arm (CCC or 30:2)• Afterward, ROC will determine patient

• What if another individual or agency arrives first and begins CPR?
INCLUDE and perform the protocol if:.» Law enforcement» Bystander» Other individuals or agencies that do not typically or regularly
respond to cardiac arrest incidents(e.g., lifeguards, military, security, etc.)
EXCLUDE and continue with standard ACLS (local protocol) if:» Non-ROC EMS provider agency

Should I count chest compressions or use a timing device?
Either approach is acceptable
Final version 1, 03-30-2011
• Yes - if using Medtronic/PhysioControl device
• No – if using Philips MRX device (it charges fully during analysis)
• Immediately resume compressions after shock delivered
• Charge/shock time does not count as part of CPR cycle.
Should I compress while the defibrillator is charging?
