Effectiveness of ventilation-compression ratios 1:5 and 2:15 in simulated single rescuer paediatric resuscitationE Dorph
Norwegian Air Ambulance, N 1441, Drøbak, Norway
Resuscitation 54:259-64. 2002..In order to simplify CPR training for laypersons, we recommend a 2:15 ratio for both single- and two-person, adult and paediatric layperson BLS...
Dispatcher-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation. An evaluation of efficacy amongst elderlyElizabeth Dorph
Norwegian Air Ambulance, N 1441, Drøbak, Norway
Resuscitation 56:265-73. 2003..In both groups the overall CPR performance was of very poor quality, and unlikely to have affected outcome in a real situation. Other telephone assisted CPR scripts should be tested in this potential bystander group...
Quality of CPR with three different ventilation:compression ratiosE Dorph
Norwegian Air Ambulance, N 1441 Drøbak, Norway
Resuscitation 58:193-201. 2003..However, it might seem reasonable to suggest that basic CPR by professionals should continue with ratio of 2:15 at present if it can be shown that similar brief pauses for ventilation can be achieved in clinical practice...
Oxygen delivery and return of spontaneous circulation with ventilation:compression ratio 2:30 versus chest compressions only CPR in pigsE Dorph
Norwegion Air Ambulance, Drøbak, Norway
Resuscitation 60:309-18. 2004..In this model of very ideal BLS, ventilation improved arterial oxygenation and the median time to ROSC was shorter. We believe that in cardiac arrest with an obstructed airway, pulmonary ventilation should still be strongly recommended...
Arterial blood gases with 700 ml tidal volumes during out-of-hospital CPRE Dorph
Norwegian Air Ambulance, Drøbak, Norway
Resuscitation 61:23-7. 2004..87. We conclude that aiming for an estimated ventilation of 10 ml kg(-1) tidal volume at frequency of 12 min(-1) might be expected to achieve normocapnia during ALS...
Evaluation of a defibrillator-basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation programme for non medical personnelLars Wik
Department of Emergency Medical Services, Division of Surgery, Ulleval University Hospital, N 0407 Oslo, Norway
Resuscitation 56:167-72. 2003..The present study also supports the need for annual training and recertification...
Arterial blood gases during basic life support of human cardiac arrest victimsMorten Pytte
Institute for Experimental Medical Research and Department of Anaesthesiology, Ulleval University Hospital, Kirkeveien 166, N 0407 Oslo, Norway
Resuscitation 77:35-8. 2008..Ventilation with tidal volumes sufficient to raise the victim's chest is an integral part of guidelines for lay-rescuer basic life support, but optimal tidal volume, frequency and ratio to chest compressions are not known...
Transthoracic impedance changes as a tool to detect malpositioned tracheal tubesJo Kramer-Johansen
Institute for Experimental Medical Research, Ulleval University Hospital, N 0407 Oslo, Norway
Resuscitation 76:11-6. 2008..We wanted to test the ability of impedance changes as measured across the chest via the standard defibrillation pads to distinguish between oesophageal and tracheal ventilations in non-circulated patients...
