HIGH PERFORMANCE CPR
INTRODUCTORY REMARKS
“Poor-quality CPR should be considered a preventable harm. In healthcare environments, variability in clinician performance has affected the ability to reduce healthcare associated complications, and a standardized approach has been advocated to improve outcomes and reduce preventable harms. The use of a systematic continuous quality improvement (CQI) approach has been shown to optimize outcomes in a number of urgent healthcare conditions.”
“Despite this evidence, few healthcare organizations apply these techniques to cardiac arrest by consistently monitoring CPR quality and outcomes. As a result, there remains an unacceptable disparity in the quality of resuscitation care delivered, as well as the presence of significant opportunities to save more lives.”
QUESTION FOR AUDIENCE:HOW MANY OF YOU PRACTICE CPR?
(OUTSIDE OF YOUR AHA CLASS)
PRACTICE DOESN’T MAKE PERFECTPERFECT PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT!
WE CAN’T EXPECT TO WIN “RACES” WITHOUT MEANINGFUL PRACTICE
AND AN ONGOING ITERATIVE PROCESS OF MEASURING AND IMPROVING…
BEGINNERS PERMIT
DON’T THROW OUT THE BABY WITH THE BATH WATER!
YOUR STANDARDIZEDTRAINING IS IMPORTANT!
TOO MANY PEOPLE ARE GOING HERE

•Perceived performance does not always match observed performance.
•Aufderheide et al. showed that duty cycle, chest compression depth and complete recoil were performed significantly less well when directly observed than EMT perceptions of their performance.
•Wik et al. showed that chest compression rate and depth were both significantly below AHA guidelines by trained EMS providers, and no flow time (when there was neither a pulse nor CPR being given) was almost 50% in directly observed performance evaluations.
•The likelihood of ROSC increases significantly with higher mean chest compression rate (in a hospital study 75% of patients achieved ROSC with 90 or more chest compressions/minute compared to only 42% with 72 or fewer chest compressions/minute).

Quality CPR is a means to improve survival from cardiac arrest. Scientific studies demonstrate
when CPR is performed according to guidelines, the chances of successful resuscitation increase
substantially. Minimal breaks in compressions, full chest recoil, adequate compression depth, and
adequate compression rate are all components of CPR that can increase survival from cardiac arrest.
Together, these components combine to create high performance CPR (HP CPR)
DISCUSSION OF DRUGS WITH PROVEN BENEFIT FOR CARDIAC ARREST
WOW! THAT WAS QUICK!
Compress
> 2 inches
Minimize interruptions
Full recoil
Rate between 100 and 120/min
Improved survival
Switch compressors every 2 min. Hover hands
Prioritize compressions
C-A-B
Rapid rhythm analysis
Minimize pauses
Administer drugs

•EMTs own CPR•Minimize interruptions in CPR at all times•Ensure proper depth of compressions (>2 inches)•Ensure full chest recoil/decompression•Ensure proper chest compression rate (100-120/min)•Rotate compressors every 2 minutes •Hover hands over chest during shock administration -be ready to compress as soon as patient is cleared•Intubate or place advanced airway with ongoing CPR•Place IV or IO with ongoing CPR•Coordination and teamwork
10 PRINCIPLES!
•C-A-B•Minimize interruptions in compressions•Compress at least 100/min***•Allow complete chest wall recoil/decompression between compressions•Rhythm assessment every 2 minutes•Rotate compressors every 2 minutes•Hover over patient with hands ready during defibrillation so compressions can start immediately after the shock (or analysis) has occurred
ALWAYS TRUE!

"Eisenberg has done a remarkable job in articulating the steps to be taken for communities to improve survival from sudden cardiac arrest. Resuscitate! is a 'best in class' and one of a kind guide that provides inspiration as well as direction in translating resuscitation science into practice. It is essential for all those who seek to establish strategies to improve survival and quality of life for cardiac arrest victims whose hearts are 'too young to die.'" - David B. Hiltz, EMT-P Resuscitation Academy Alumni
