Cardiopulmonary resuscitation - wikipedia Cardiopulmonary resuscitation `` CPR '' redirects here. For other uses, see CPR ( disambiguation ). Cardiopulmonary resuscitation CPR being performed on a medical - training manikin Specialty Cardiology ICD - 9 99.60 MeSH D016887 OPS - 301 code 8 - 771 MedlinePlus 000010 ( edit on Wikidata ) Cardiopulmonary resuscitation ( CPR ) is an emergency procedure that combines chest compressions often with artificial ventilation in an effort to manually preserve intact brain function until further measures are taken to restore spontaneous blood circulation and breathing in a person who is in cardiac arrest. It is recommended in those who are unresponsive with no breathing or abnormal breathing, for example, agonal respirations. CPR involves chest compressions for adults between 5 cm ( 2.0 in ) and 6 cm ( 2.4 in ) deep and at a rate of at least 100 to 120 per minute. The rescuer may also provide artificial ventilation by either exhaling air into the subject 's mouth or nose ( mouth - to - mouth resuscitation ) or using a device that pushes air into the subject 's lungs ( mechanical ventilation ). Current recommendations place emphasis on early and high - quality chest compressions over artificial ventilation ; a simplified CPR method involving chest compressions only is recommended for untrained rescuers. In children, however, only doing compressions may result in worse outcomes. CPR alone is unlikely to restart the heart. Its main purpose is to restore partial flow of oxygenated blood to the brain and heart. The objective is to delay tissue death and to extend the brief window of opportunity for a successful resuscitation without permanent brain damage. Administration of an electric shock to the subject 's heart, termed defibrillation, is usually needed in order to restore a viable or `` perfusing '' heart rhythm. Defibrillation is effective only for certain heart rhythms, namely ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia, rather than asystole or pulseless electrical activity. CPR may succeed in inducing a heart rhythm that may be shockable. In general, CPR is continued until the person has a return of spontaneous circulation ( ROSC ) or is declared dead.

If a person still has a pulse but is not breathing ( respiratory arrest ) artificial ventilations may be more appropriate, but, due to the difficulty people have in accurately assessing the presence or absence of a pulse, CPR guidelines recommend that lay persons should not be instructed to check the pulse, while giving healthcare professionals the option to check a pulse. In those with cardiac arrest due to trauma, CPR is considered futile but still recommended. Correcting the underlying cause such as a pneumothorax or pericardial tamponade may help. Effectiveness Type of Arrest ROSC Survival Source Witnessed in - hospital cardiac arrest 52 % 19 % Unwitnessed in - hospital cardiac arrest 33 % 8 % Out - of - hospital cardiac arrest overall 59 % 10 % Unwitnessed out - of - hospital cardiac arrest 21 % 4 % Witnessed out - of - hospital cardiac arrest 41 % 15 % Witnessed and `` shockable '' with bystander CPR 53 % 37 % Bystander compression - only resuscitation - 13 % Bystander conventional CPR - 8 % CPR serves as the foundation of successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation, preserving the body for defibrillation and advanced life support. Even in the case of a `` non-shockable '' rhythm, such as pulseless electrical activity ( PEA ) where defibrillation is not indicated, effective CPR is no less important. Used alone, CPR will result in few complete recoveries, though the outcome without CPR is almost uniformly fatal. Studies have shown that immediate CPR followed by defibrillation within 3 -- 5 minutes of sudden VF cardiac arrest dramatically improves survival. In cities such as Seattle where CPR training is widespread and defibrillation by EMS personnel follows quickly, the survival rate is about 20 percent for all causes and as high as 57 percent if a witnessed `` shockable '' arrest. In cities such as New York, without those advantages, the survival rate is only 5 percent for witnessed shockable arrest. In adults compression - only CPR by bystanders appears to be better than chest compressions with rescue breathing. Compression - only CPR may be less effective in children than in adults, as cardiac arrest in children is more likely to have a non-cardiac cause. In a 2010 prospective study of cardiac arrest in children ( age 1 -- 17 ) for arrests with a non-cardiac cause, provision by bystanders of conventional CPR with rescue breathing yielded a favorable neurological outcome at one month more often than did compression - only CPR ( OR 5.54 ). For arrests with a cardiac cause in this cohort, there was no difference between the two techniques ( OR 1.20 ). This is consistent with American Heart Association guidelines for parents. When done by trained responders, 30 compressions interrupted by two breaths appears to have a slightly better result than continuous chest compressions with breaths being delivered while compressions are ongoing. There is a higher proportion of patients who achieve spontaneous circulation ( ROSC ), where their heart starts beating on its own again, than ultimately survive to be discharged from hospital ( see table above ). This may be due to medical staff being ultimately unable to address the cause of the cardiac arrest, to other co-morbidities, or to the patient being gravely ill in more than one way. Ultimately, only 5 -- 10 % of patients in cardiac arrest will survive after an attempted resuscitation. Complications While CPR is a last resort intervention, without which a person without a pulse will all but certainly die, the physical nature of how CPR is performed does lead to complications that may need to be rectified. Common complications due to CPR are rib fractures, sternal fractures, bleeding in the anterior mediastinum, heart contusion, hemopericardium, upper airway complications, damage to the abdominal viscera − lacerations of the liver and spleen, fat emboli, pulmonary complications − pneumothorax, hemothorax, lung contusions. The most common injuries sustained from CPR are rib fractures, with literature suggesting an incidence between 13 % and 97 %, and sternal fractures, with an incidence between 1 % to 43 %. While these iatrogenic injuries can require further intervention ( assuming the patient survives the cardiac arrest ), only 0.5 % of them are life - threatening in their own right. The type and frequency of injury can be affected by factors such as gender and age. For instance, women have a higher risk of sternal fractures than men, and risk for rib fractures increases significantly with age. Children and infants have a low risk of rib fractures during CPR, with an incidence less than 2 %, although, when they do occur, they are usually anterior and multiple. Where CPR is performed in error by a bystander, on a person not in cardiac arrest, around 2 % have injury as a result ( although 12 % experienced discomfort ). Methods CPR technique as demonstrated on a dummy Mouth - to - mouth resuscitation CPR training : CPR is being administered while a second rescuer prepares for defibrillation. In 2010, the American Heart Association and International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation updated their CPR guidelines. The importance of high quality CPR ( sufficient rate and depth without excessively ventilating ) was emphasized. The order of interventions was changed for all age groups except newborns from airway, breathing, chest compressions ( ABC ) to chest compressions, airway, breathing ( CAB ). An exception to this recommendation is for those believed to be in a respiratory arrest ( airway obstruction, drug overdose, etc. ). The most important aspect of CPR are : few interruptions of chest compressions, a sufficient speed and depth of compressions, completely relaxing pressure between compressions, and not ventilating too much. It is unclear if a few minutes of CPR before defibrillation results in different outcomes than immediate defibrillation. Compressions with rescue breaths A universal compression to ventilation ratio of 30 : 2 is recommended for adults. With children, if at least 2 trained rescuers are present a ratio of 15 : 2 is preferred. In newborns a rate of 3 : 1 is recommended unless a cardiac cause is known in which case a 15 : 2 ratio is reasonable. If an advanced airway such as an endotracheal tube or laryngeal mask airway is in place, artificial ventilation should occur without pauses in compressions at a rate of 8 -- 10 per minute. The recommended order of interventions is chest compressions, airway, breathing or CAB in most situations, with a compression rate of at least 100 per minute in all groups. Recommended compression depth in adults and children is at least 5 cm ( 2 inches ) and in infants it is 4 centimetres ( 1.6 in ). As of 2010 the Resuscitation Council ( UK ) still recommends ABC for children. As it can be difficult to determine the presence or absence of a pulse, the pulse check has been removed for lay providers and should not be performed for more than 10 seconds by healthcare providers. In adults, rescuers should use two hands for the chest compressions, while in children they should use one, and with infants two fingers ( index and middle fingers ). Compression only For adults with cardiac arrest, compression - only ( hands - only or cardiocerebral resuscitation ) CPR which involves chest compressions without artificial ventilation is recommended as the method of choice for the untrained rescuer or those who are not proficient as it is easier to perform and instructions are easier to give over a phone. In adults with out - of - hospital cardiac arrest, compression - only CPR by the lay public has an equal or higher success rate than standard CPR. It is hoped that the use of compression - only delivery will increase the chances of the lay public delivering CPR. Compression - only CPR is not as good for children who are more likely to have cardiac arrest from respiratory causes. Two reviews have found that compression - only CPR had no more success than no CPR whatsoever. Rescue breaths for children and especially for babies should be relatively gentle. Either a ratio of compressions to breaths of 30 : 2 or 15 : 2 was found to have better results for children. Both children and adults should receive a hundred chest compressions per minute. Other exceptions besides children include cases of drownings and drug overdose. In both these cases, compressions and rescue breaths are recommended if the bystander is trained and is willing to do so. As per the American Heart Association, the beat of the Bee Gees song `` Stayin ' Alive '' provides an ideal rhythm in terms of beats per minute to use for hands - only CPR. One can also hum Queen 's `` Another One Bites The Dust '', which is exactly 100 beats - per - minute and contains a memorable repeating drum pattern. For those in cardiac arrest due to non heart related causes and in people less than 20 years of age, standard CPR is superior to compression - only CPR. Prone CPR Standard CPR is performed with the person in supine position. Prone CPR or reverse CPR is CPR performed on a person lying on their chest, by turning the head to the side and compressing the back. Due to the head 's being turned, the risk of vomiting and complications caused by aspiration pneumonia may be reduced. The American Heart Association 's current guideline recommends to perform CPR in the supine position, and limits prone CPR to situations where the patient can not be turned. Pregnancy During pregnancy when a woman is lying on her back, the uterus may compress the inferior vena cava and thus decrease venous return. It is therefore recommended that the uterus be pushed to the woman 's left ; if this is not effective, either roll the woman 30 ° or healthcare professionals should consider emergency resuscitative hysterotomy. Family presence Evidence generally supports family being present during CPR. This includes in CPR for children. Other Interposed abdominal compressions may be beneficial in the hospital environment. There is no evidence of benefit pre-hospital or in children. Cooling during CPR is being studied as currently results are unclear whether or not it improves outcomes. Internal cardiac massage is manual squeezing of the exposed heart itself carried out through a surgical incision into the chest cavity, usually when the chest is already open for cardiac surgery. Pathophysiology CPR is used on people in cardiac arrest in order to oxygenate the blood and maintain a cardiac output to keep vital organs alive. Blood circulation and oxygenation are required to transport oxygen to the tissues. The physiology of CPR involves generating a pressure gradient between the arterial and venous vascular beds ; CPR achieves this via multiple mechanisms The brain may sustain damage after blood flow has been stopped for about four minutes and irreversible damage after about seven minutes. Typically if blood flow ceases for one to two hours, then body cells die. Therefore, in general CPR is effective only if performed within seven minutes of the stoppage of blood flow. The heart also rapidly loses the ability to maintain a normal rhythm. Low body temperatures, as sometimes seen in near - drownings, prolong the time the brain survives. Following cardiac arrest, effective CPR enables enough oxygen to reach the brain to delay brain stem death, and allows the heart to remain responsive to defibrillation attempts. Additional devices While several adjunctive devices are available, none other than defibrillation, as of 2010, have consistently been found to be better than standard CPR for out - of - hospital cardiac arrest. These devices can be split into three broad groups : timing devices ; devices that assist the rescuer in achieving the correct technique, especially depth and speed of compressions ; and devices that take over the process completely. Timing devices Timing devices can feature a metronome ( an item carried by many ambulance crews ) in order to assist the rescuer in achieving the correct rate. Some units can also give timing reminders for performing compressions, ventilating and changing operators. Manual assist devices Mechanical chest compression devices are not currently recommended for widespread use. There have not been enough high quality studies performed to determine if using mechanical assist devices for chest compression saves more lives compared with using the traditional hand compression technique. Audible and visual prompting may improve the quality of CPR and prevent the decrease of compression rate and depth that naturally occurs with fatigue, and to address this potential improvement, a number of devices have been developed to help improve CPR technique. These items can be devices to be placed on top of the chest, with the rescuer 's hands going over the device, and a display or audio feedback giving information on depth, force or rate, or in a wearable format such as a glove. Several published evaluations show that these devices can improve the performance of chest compressions. As well as its use during actual CPR on a cardiac arrest victim, which relies on the rescuer carrying the device with them, these devices can also be used as part of training programs to improve basic skills in performing correct chest compressions. Automatic devices Mechanical CPR has not seen as much use as mechanical ventilation. Devices on the market include LUCAS - 2, developed at the University Hospital of Lund, and return of spontaneous circulation. and AutoPulse. Both use straps around the chest, LUCAS - 2 uses a gas driven piston and motor driven constricting band. There are several advantages to automated devices : they allow rescuers to focus on performing other interventions ; they do not fatigue and begin to perform less effective compressions, as humans do ; they are able to perform effective compressions in limited - space environments such as air ambulances, where manual compressions are difficult, and they allow ambulance workers to be strapped in safely rather than standing over a patient in a speeding vehicle. However the disadvantages are cost to purchase, time to train emergency personnel to use them, interruption to CPR to implement, potential for incorrect application and the need for multiple device sizes. Several studies have shown little or no improvement in survival rates, but acknowledge the need for more study. Mobile apps To support training and incident management, mobile apps have been published on the largest app markets. An evaluation of 61 available apps has revealed that a large number do not follow international guidelines for basic life support and many apps are not designed in a user - friendly way. As a result, the Red Cross updated and endorsed its emergency preparedness application, which uses pictures, text and videos to assist the user. The UK Resuscitation Council, has an app, called Lifesaver, which shows how to perform CPR. Prevalence Chance of receiving CPR Various studies suggest that in out - of - home cardiac arrest, bystanders in the USA attempt CPR in between 14 % and 45 % of the time, with a median of 32 %. Internationally, rates of bystander CPR reported to be as low as 1 % and as high as 44 %. However, the effectiveness of this CPR is variable, and the studies suggest only around half of bystander CPR is performed correctly. One study found that members of the public having received CPR training in the past lack the skills and confidence needed to save lives. The report 's authors suggested that better training is needed to improve the willingness to respond to cardiac arrest. There is a relation between age and the chance of CPR being commenced. Younger people are far more likely to have CPR attempted on them before the arrival of emergency medical services. Bystanders more commonly administer CPR when in public than when at the person 's home, although health care professionals are responsible for more than half of out - of - hospital resuscitation attempts. People with no connection to the person are more likely to perform CPR than are a member of their family. There is also a clear relation between cause of arrest and the likelihood of a bystander initiating CPR. Lay persons are most likely to give CPR to younger people in cardiac arrest in a public place when it has a medical cause ; those in arrest from trauma, exsanguination or intoxication are less likely to receive CPR. It is believed that there is a higher chance that CPR will be performed if the bystander is told to perform only the chest compression element of the resuscitation. Chance of receiving CPR in time CPR is likely to be effective only if commenced within 6 minutes after the blood flow stops because permanent brain cell damage occurs when fresh blood infuses the cells after that time, since the cells of the brain become dormant in as little as 4 -- 6 minutes in an oxygen deprived environment and, therefore, can not survive the reintroduction of oxygen in a traditional resuscitation. Research using cardioplegic blood infusion resulted in a 79.4 % survival rate with cardiac arrest intervals of 72 ± 43 minutes, traditional methods achieve a 15 % survival rate in this scenario, by comparison. New research is currently needed to determine what role CPR, electroshock, and new advanced gradual resuscitation techniques will have with this new knowledge. A notable exception is cardiac arrest that occurs in conjunction with exposure to very cold temperatures. Hypothermia seems to protect by slowing down metabolic and physiologic processes, greatly decreasing the tissues ' need for oxygen. There are cases where CPR, defibrillation, and advanced warming techniques have revived victims after substantial periods of hypothermia. Society and culture Portrayed effectiveness CPR is often severely misrepresented in movies and television as being highly effective in resuscitating a person who is not breathing and has no circulation. A 1996 study published in the New England Journal of Medicine showed that CPR success rates in television shows was 75 % for immediate circulation, and 67 % survival to discharge. This gives the general public an unrealistic expectation of a successful outcome. When educated on the actual survival rates, the proportion of patients over 60 years of age desiring CPR should they suffer a cardiac arrest drops from 41 % to 22 %. Stage CPR Chest compressions are capable of causing significant local blunt trauma, including bruising or fracture of the sternum or ribs. Performing CPR on a healthy person may or may not disrupt normal heart rhythm, but regardless the technique should not be performed on a healthy person because of the risk of trauma. The portrayal of CPR technique on television and film often is purposely incorrect. Actors simulating the performance of CPR may bend their elbows while appearing to compress, to prevent force from reaching the chest of the actor portraying the victim. Self - CPR hoax A form of `` self - CPR '' termed `` cough CPR '' was the subject of a hoax chain e-mail entitled `` How to Survive a Heart Attack When Alone, '' which wrongly cited `` ViaHealth Rochester General Hospital '' as the source of the technique. Rochester General Hospital has denied any connection with the technique. `` Cough CPR '' in the sense of resuscitating oneself is impossible because a prominent symptom of cardiac arrest is unconsciousness, which makes coughing impossible. In cases of myocardial infarction ( heart attack ), during which the person may well remain conscious but which is not by itself a form of arrest, attempting `` cough CPR '' will increase the workload on the heart and will likely prove harmful. The American Heart Association ( AHA ) and other resuscitation bodies do not endorse `` cough CPR '', which it terms a misnomer as it is not a form of resuscitation. The AHA does recognize a limited legitimate use of the coughing technique : `` This coughing technique to maintain blood flow during brief arrhythmias has been useful in the hospital, particularly during cardiac catheterization. In such cases the patient 's ECG is monitored continuously, and a physician is present. '' When coughing is used on trained and monitored patients in hospitals, it has been shown to be effective only for 90 seconds. Learning from movies In at least one case, it has been alleged that CPR learned from a movie was used to save a person 's life. In April 2011, it was claimed that nine - year - old Tristin Saghin saved his sister 's life by administering CPR on her after she fell into a swimming pool, using only the knowledge of CPR that he had gleaned from a motion picture, Black Hawk Down. Hands - only CPR portrayal Less than 1 / 3 of those people who experience a cardiac arrest at home, work or in a public location have CPR performed on them. Most bystanders are worried that they might do something wrong. On October 28, 2009 the American Heart Association and the Ad Council launched a Hands - Only CPR public service announcement and website as a means to address this issue. In July 2011, new content was added to the website including a digital app that helps a user learn how to perform Hands - Only CPR. History Main article : History of cardiopulmonary resuscitation In the 19th century, Doctor H.R. Silvester described a method ( The Silvester Method ) of artificial ventilation in which the patient is laid on their back, and their arms are raised above their head to aid inhalation and then pressed against their chest to aid exhalation. The procedure is repeated sixteen times per minute. This type of artificial ventilation is occasionally seen in films made in the early 20th century. A second technique, called the Holger Nielsen technique, described in the first edition of the Boy Scout Handbook in the United States in 1911, was a form of artificial ventilation where the person was laid face down, with their head to the side, resting on the palms of both hands. Upward pressure applied at the patient 's elbows raised the upper body while pressure on their back forced air into the lungs, in essence the Silvester Method with the patient flipped over. This form is seen well into the 1950s ( it is used in an episode of Lassie during the mid-1950s ), and was often used, sometimes for comedic effect, in theatrical cartoons of the time ( see Tom and Jerry 's `` The Cat and the Mermouse '' ( 1949 ) ). This method would continue to be shown, for historical purposes, side - by - side with modern CPR in the Boy Scout Handbook until its ninth edition in 1979. The technique was later banned from first - aid manuals in the UK. Similar techniques were described in early 20th century ju - jutsu and judo books, as being used as far back as the early 17th century. A New York Times correspondent reported those techniques being used successfully in Japan in 1910. In ju - jutsu ( and later on, judo ) those techniques were called Kappo or Kutasu. However, it was not until the middle of the 20th century that the wider medical community started to recognize and promote artificial ventilation in the form of mouth - to - mouth resuscitation combined with chest compressions as a key part of resuscitation following cardiac arrest. The combination was first seen in a 1962 training video called `` The Pulse of Life '' created by James Jude, Guy Knickerbocker and Peter Safar. Jude and Knickerbocker, along with William Kouwenhoven and Joseph S. Redding had recently discovered the method of external chest compressions, whereas Safar had worked with Redding and James Elam to prove the effectiveness of mouth - to - mouth resuscitation. It was at Johns Hopkins University where the technique of CPR was originally developed. The first effort at testing the technique was performed on a dog by Redding, Safar and JW Pearson. Soon afterward, the technique was used to save the life of a child. Their combined findings were presented at the annual Maryland Medical Society meeting on September 16, 1960 in Ocean City, and gained widespread acceptance over the following decade, helped by the video and speaking tour they undertook. Peter Safar wrote the book ABC of Resuscitation in 1957. In the U.S., it was first promoted as a technique for the public to learn in the 1970s. Mouth - to - mouth resuscitation was combined with chest compressions based on the assumption that active ventilation is necessary to keep circulating blood oxygenated, and the combination was accepted without comparing its effectiveness with chest compressions alone. However, research over the past decade has shown that assumption to be in error, resulting in the AHA 's acknowledgment of the effectiveness of chest compressions alone ( see Compression only in this article ). CPR has continued to advance, with recent developments including an emphasis on constant, rapid heart stimulation, and a de-emphasis on the respiration aspect. Studies have shown that people who had rapid, constant heart - only chest compression are 22 % more likely to survive than those receiving conventional CPR that included breathing. What 's more, because people tend to be reluctant to do mouth - to - mouth, chest - only CPR nearly doubles the chances of survival overall, by increasing the odds of receiving CPR in the first place. Other animals It is feasible to perform CPR on animals, including cats and dogs. The principles and practices are virtually identical to CPR for humans, except that resuscitation is usually done through the animal 's nose, not the mouth. CPR should only be performed on unconscious animals to avoid the risk of being bitten ; a conscious animal would not require chest compressions. Animals, depending on species, may have a lower bone density than humans and so CPR can cause bones to become weakened after it is performed. Research Cerebral performance category ( CPC scores ) are used as a research tool to describe `` good '' and `` poor '' outcomes. Level 1 is conscious and alert with normal function. Level 2 is only slight disability. Level 3 is moderate disability. Level 4 is severe disability. Level 5 is comatose or persistent vegetative state. Level 6 is brain dead or death from other causes.

Jump up ^ USA Today American Heart Association revises CPR guidelines An analysis of 3,700 cardiac arrests published Friday in the journal Lancet found that hands - only CPR saved 22 % more lives than the conventional method. All told, the switch could save up to 3,000 additional lives a year in the USA and 5,000 to 10,000 in North America and Europe, says lead author Peter Nagele of Washington University in St. Louis. A landmark study published Oct. 6 in The Journal of the American Medical Associationfound that bystanders who applied hands - only CPR were able to boost survival to 34 % from 18 % for those who got conventional CPR or none at all. In addition, the percentage of people willing to provide CPR rose from 28 % in 2005 to 40 % in 2009. Jump up ^ `` CPR for Cats & Dogs ''. University of Washington School of Medicine.
