Ventilation During CPR and Return of Spontaneous Circulation

Rush University Medical Center100 enrolled

Overview

During cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), rescue breaths help move air into the lungs, but the amount of air delivered is rarely measured. This study examined whether the amount and rate of air delivered during CPR were related to the heart restarting its own circulation, called return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC).
