1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Abstract

backgroundThe outcome of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) depends on the quality of chest compressions. Current European Resuscitation Council (ERC) guidelines promote the development of feedback systems. However, no studies presenting satisfactory results of feedback use have been published.

methodsA total of 60 patients with cardiac arrest (> or =18 years of age) received resuscitation attempts using an automated external defibrillator (AED) with real-time feedback by the ambulance service of the City of Münster. The frequency of chest compressions, no-flow time (NFT) and depth of chest compressions were analyzed for the first three cycles of CPR and compared to the ERC guidelines 2005.

resultsChest compression frequency did not differ significantly from the ideal as set out in the guidelines. Analysis of NFTs showed significantly longer NFT for the first cycle but NFT for the second and third cycles did not differ significantly from the ideal. The target depth of 4-5 cm was achieved in 80% of all chest compressions in the first 3 cycles.

conclusionWith the AED real-time feedback technology used in this study standardized performance of chest compressions could be maintained in a professional ambulance service. Implementation of a feedback system requires training of ambulance staff.
