what is the purpose of rosc in cpr
The 2010-2015 AHA Guidelines for ACLS now recommend using quantitative waveform capnography in intubated patients during CPR. Waveform capnography allows providers to monitor CPR quality, optimize chest compressions, and detect ROSC (return of spontaneous circulation) during chest compressions. Also, according to the AHA, continuous waveform capnography along with clinical assessment is the most reliable method of confirming and monitoring correct placement of an ET tube.
