A novel CPR prototype mechanical waveform optimized blood circulation parameters in a mathematical model, suggesting optimal compression depth of 50 mm, 0.6 duty cycle, and 110 presses/min.
Mechanical CPR waveform tuning may enhance circulation in arrest; leaves open optimal parameters pending larger validation trials.
The waveform of chest compressions directly affects the blood circulation of patients with cardiac arrest. Currently, few pieces of research have focused on the influence of the cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) device's mechanical waveform on blood circulation. This study investigates the effect of the mechanical waveform from a novel CPR prototype on blood circulation and explores the optimal compression parameters of the mechanical waveform to optimize blood circulation. A novel CPR prototype was designed and built to establish a kinetic model during compressions. The prototype's mechanical waveforms at various operating conditions were obtained for comparison with manual waveforms and the investigation of the optimal compression parameters. The novel CPR prototype can complete chest compressions quickly and stably. The cardiac output (CO), coronary perfusion pressure (CPP), and cerebral flow (CF) obtained by mechanical waveform compressions (1.22367 ± 0.00942 L/min, 30.95083 ± 0.24039 mmHg, 0.31992 ± 0.00343 L/min, respectively) were significantly better than those obtained by manual waveform compressions (1.10783 ± 0.03601 L/min, 21.39210 ± 1.42771 mmHg, 0.29598 ± 0.01344 L/min, respectively). With the compression of the prototype, the blood circulation can be optimized at the compression depth of 50 mm, approximately 0.6 duty cycle, and approximately 110 press/min, which is of guiding significance for the practical use of CPR devices to rescue patients with cardiac arrest.

Xu et al. (2022) studied Cardiac arrest. Mechanical waveform compressions from a novel CPR prototype vs. Manual waveform compressions was evaluated on Cardiac output (CO). Mechanical waveform compressions from a novel CPR prototype significantly improved cardiac output (1.22 vs 1.11 L/min) compared to manual compressions in a kinetic model.
