[Effects of interposed abdominal pulling-pressing cardiopulmonary resuscitation on hemodynamics and oxygen metabolism in patients with cardiac arrest].

OBJECTIVE To analyze the effect of interposed abdominal pulling-pressing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (IAPP-CPR) and standard cardiopulmonary resuscitation (S-CPR) on hemodynamics and oxygen metabolism in patients with cardiac arrest, and to evaluate the treatment effect of IAPP-CPR. METHODS The patients with cardiac arrest, cardiac arrest time less than 30 minutes, and with S-CPR indications admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) of the First People's Hospital of Lianyungang from January 2017 to January 2019 were enrolled. The patients were divided into IAPP-CPR group and S-CPR group according to whether the patients had IAPP-CPR indication or not. The patients in the S-CPR group were operated according to the 2015 American Heart Association (AHA) CPR guidelines; and the patients in the IAPP-CPR group received the IAPP-CPR on the basis of the S-CRP. During the relaxation period, the patients were subjected to abdominal lifting and compressing with amplitude of 4-5 cm, frequency of 100-120 times/min, and the time ratio of lifting to compressing was 1:1. Hemodynamic changes during resuscitation were recorded in the two groups. Hemodynamics, oxygen metabolism, arterial blood gas analysis and prognostic indicators were recorded at 30 minutes after successful resuscitation. RESULTS During the study period, 77 patients were selected, 24 patients were excluded from giving up treatment and quitting, 53 patients were enrolled in the analysis finally, with 28 patients in the S-CPR group and 25 in the IAPP-CPR group. (1) The heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP) and coronary perfusion pressure (CPP) showed an upward trend during resuscitation, and a more significant increase was shown in the IAPP-CPR group. (2) Hemodynamics after successful resuscitation: there were 16 patients with successful resuscitation in the IAPP-CPR group and 13 in the S-CPR group. The MAP, CPP, global ejection fraction (GEF) and stroke volume (SV) of patients with successful resuscitation at 30 minutes after resuscitation in the IAPP-CPR group were significantly higher than those in the S-CPR group [MAP mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa): 52.88±3.11 vs. 39.39±4.62, CPP (mmHg): 36.56±6.89 vs. 29.61±6.92, GEF: 0.217±0.036 vs. 0.178±0.027, SV (mL): 38.43±5.25 vs. 32.92±8.28, all P < 0.05], but there was no significant difference in central venous pressure (CVP) or HR between the two groups. (3) Oxygen metabolism after successful resuscitation: the cardiac output (CO), arterial oxygen content (CaO2), oxygen transport (DO2) and oxygen consumption (VO2) of patients with successful resuscitation at 30 minutes after resuscitation in the IAPP-CPR group were significantly higher than those in the S-CPR group [CO (L/min): 2.23±0.38 vs. 1.99±0.29, CaO2 (mL/L): 158.0±11.8 vs. 141.4±8.2, DO2 (mL/L): 245.8±29.9 vs. 209.1±28.0, VO2 (mL/L): 138.2±24.9 vs. 112.8±18.1, all P < 0.05]. (4) Arterial blood gas after successful resuscitation: the values of the pH, arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO2), arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2), oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2) and central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) of patients with successful resuscitation at 30 minutes after resuscitation in the IAPP-CPR were significantly higher than those in the S-CPR group [pH value: 7.13±0.22 vs. 7.00±0.23, PaO2 (mmHg): 73.68±13.80 vs. 65.32±15.32, PaCO2 (mmHg): 36.24±11.77 vs. 29.12±7.82, PaO2/FiO2 (mmHg): 73.68±13.80 vs. 65.32±15.32, ScvO2: 0.628±0.074 vs. 0.589±0.066, all P < 0.05], and the blood lactic acid (Lac) level was significantly lower than that in the S-CPR group (mmoL/L: 9.80±4.28 vs. 12.18±3.63, P < 0.05). (5) The patients in the IAPP-CPR group had a shorter time for cardiac arrest to restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) than that in the S-CPR group (minutes: 10.63±2.94 vs. 14.54±3.84, P < 0.01), and the rate of ROSC, CPR successful rate and 28-day survival rate were significantly higher than those in the S-CPR group [64.0% (16/25) vs. 46.4% (13/28), 60.0% (15/25) vs. 28.6% (8/28), 52.0% (13/25) vs. 21.4% (6/28), all P < 0.05]. There was no significant difference in incidence of rib fracture between the IAPP-CPR and S-CPR groups [92.0% (23/25) vs. 89.3% (25/28), P > 0.05], and no abdominal bleeding was found in both group. CONCLUSIONS IAPP-CPR can produce better hemodynamic effect during and after resuscitation than S-CPR, and oxygen metabolism and arterial blood gas analysis parameters at 30 minutes after resuscitation were better than S-CPR, with higher ROSC rate, CPR successful rate and 28-day survival rate, and no significant difference in complications between the two resuscitation methods.
