Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the effects of a new CPR technique called AHUP-CPR, which combines head/thorax elevation, active compression-decompression, and an impedance threshold device, compared to traditional CPR in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients.
- It was conducted in France from October 2019 to October 2022, involving 122 patients, and aimed to measure the peak end tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO) values as a marker for cardiac output and organ perfusion during CPR.
- Results showed that AHUP-CPR significantly increased the mean peak ETCO values (from 30.3 mmHg to 40.7 mmHg), indicating better circulation, but there was no significant difference in the rates of
Article Synopsis
- * This study aims to identify pre-rewarming predictors of death in these patients by analyzing data from multiple registries, focusing on systolic blood pressure (SBP) and base excess (BE) as key indicators.
- * The findings suggest that a systolic blood pressure below 90 mmHg is linked to an increased risk of death in hypothermic patients with preserved circulation, particularly among those who developed hypothermia at home.
Background: Mountainous areas pose a challenge for the out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) chain of survival. Survival rates for OHCAs in mountainous areas may differ depending on the location. Increased survival has been observed compared to standard location when OHCA occurred on ski slopes.

A prospective study was performed on seven human cadavers. Chest was automatically compressed-decompressed in flat position and during progressive HUP from 18 to 35°.
