Journal ArticleDOI

The effects of biphasic waveform design on post-resuscitation myocardial function.

TL;DR: Maximum survival and minimum myocardial dysfunction were observed with the low-capacitance 150-J waveform, which delivered higher peak current while minimizing energy and average current.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spontaneous gasping during cardiopulmonary resuscitation without mechanical ventilation.

TL;DR: According to this rodent model of cardiac arrest, the frequency of spontaneous gasping in absence of mechanical ventilation is predictive of cardiac resuscitation success and associated with improved arterial oxygenation and CO2 removal.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fixed-energy biphasic waveform defibrillation in a pediatric model of cardiac arrest and resuscitation.

TL;DR: An adaptation of a 150-J biphasic adult automated defibrillator in which energy-reducing electrodes delivered 50-J shocks successfully resuscitated animals ranging from 3.7 to 25 kg without compromise of postresuscitation myocardial function or survival.
Journal ArticleDOI

Esophageal PCO2 as a monitor of perfusion failure during hemorrhagic shock.

TL;DR: Esophageal tonometry may, therefore, serve as a practical alternative to gastric tonometry for estimating visceral perfusion during circulatory shock by measuring PCO2 in the esophagus to minimize restraints.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microvascular blood flow during cardiopulmonary resuscitation is predictive of outcome

TL;DR: In animals that were successfully resuscitated, microvascular flow was significantly greater after 1 and 5min of chest compression than in animals with failed resuscitation attempts, and Microvascular blood flow was highly correlated with coronary perfusion pressure (r=0.82, p<0.01).
