Points of Care– Changes in CPR Guidelines: Chest compressions: Hallstrom study found improved survival in group that received chest compression alone (ie, no gaps in compression for rescue breaths), compared to standard CPR (≈15% vs ≈10%); results may be due to easier mechanics rather than gaps in chest compression; another study indicates that details of CPR important for hemodynamics and ultimately survival; 2 recent studies have shown that CPR may actually be more important than defibrillation under certain circumstances (survival improved when defibrillation delayed to give CPR first); speaker's study recommended chest compression rate of 100/min; common deficiencies in CPR performance include frequent pauses, shallow compressions, and hyperventilation Dr. Wallace spoke at Anesthesiology Update 2007, Jan 3-6, 2007, in San Diego, CA, by the Univ of Calif, San Diego, Sch of Med, Dept of Anes, Dr. Abella, at Challenges for Clinicians, Dec 1-3, 2006, in Chi, IL, by the Univ of Chicago Pritzker Sch of Med, Dept of Anes and Critical Care.
