Utility of CPR Machine Power and Change in Right Atrial Pressure for Estimating CPR Quality.

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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
When a cardiac arrest occurs, it is necessary to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) as soon as possible. This requires maintaining the pressure depth at 5 cm at a rate of 100 cpm. For CPR machines, which are frequently used in ambulances, the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) is not superior to that of manual CPR, although CPR machines can maintain the compression rate and reciprocal distance of the compression plate more accurately. When the thoracic cavity is deformed due to repeated chest compressions, CPR machines must be adjusted. It is necessary to develop a method for measuring whether adequate CPR is achieved using CPR machines. CPR was performed on two pigs with a CPR machine, commencing 1 minute after the heart was stopped. Four CPR modes were used, with compression rates of 60 or 100 cpm and compression depths of 3 or 5 cm. The CPR machine was equipped with a load cell for measuring compression force, and a potentiometer for measuring compression depth. The measurement results obtained from the sensor were used to calculate the frequency components. The compression force and depth data were used to calculate the mechanical power of the CPR machine and mechanical impedance of the thoracic cavity. Changes in end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2), coronary perfusion pressure (CPP), carotid blood flow (CBF), and right atrial pressure (RAP) were measured during performance of CPR; change in RAP refers to variation therein with chest compressions. Continuous CPR in both animals resulted in deformation of the chest cavity and a steady decline in impedance. The correlation between CPR power and change in RAP was 0.78, and that between compression force and CBF was 0.64. Impedance was not correlated with blood pressure or CBF. When the condition of the animal deteriorated due to cardiac arrest, the CPP decreased and ETCO2 increased. The CPR power and RAP varied according to the CPR mode rather than the condition of the animal. Measuring the CPR machine power does not require a separate procedure, such as catheter intubation, so should be suitable as an index of the quality of CPR in emergency situations.
