Group of Signal and Communications. University of the Basque Country, UPV/EHU Bilbao, Bizkaia, Spain.
Background: Interpretation of end-tidal CO (ETCO) during manual cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is affected by variations in ventilation and chest compressions. This study investigates the impact of standardising ETCO to constant ventilation rate (VR) and compression depth (CD) on absolute values and trends.
Methods: Retrospective study of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest cases with manual CPR, including defibrillator and clinical data.
