Background: Intrathoracic airway closure frequently occurs during cardiac arrest, possibly impairing ventilation. Previously, capnogram analysis was used to detect this pathophysiological process. In other populations, quasi-static pressure–volume curves obtained constant low-flow inflations are routinely intrathoracic closure. This study reports the first use of prehospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Methods: Connecting a pressure and flow sensor endotracheal tube enabled performance...
During cardiopulmonary resuscitation, following advanced airway placement, chest compressions and ventilations are performed simultaneously. inspiration, positive pressure ventilation exert opposite forces on the respiratory system, frequently resulting in reversed airflow.
