Background: This narrative review was written by an expert panel to the members of the jury to help in the development of clinical practice guidelines on oxygen therapy.
Results: According to the expert panel, acute hypoxemic respiratory failure was defined as PaO < 60 mm Hg or SpO < 90% on room air, or PaO/FiO ≤ 300 mm Hg. Supplemental oxygen should be administered according to the monitoring of SpO, with the aim at maintaining SpO above 92% and below 98%.
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
