Gastric insufflation during cardiopulmonary resuscitation: A study in human cadavers
Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Bag-valve-mask ventilation is the first-line ventilation method during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Risks include excessive volume delivery and gastric insufflation, the latter increasing the risk of pneumonia. The efficacy of ventilation can also be reduced by airway closure. We hypothesized that continuous chest compression (CC) could limit the risk of gastric insufflation compared to the recommended 30:2 interrupted CC …
