Abstract:Objective To observe the effect of mechanical ventilation with different upper limit of high pressure alarm and inspiratory trigger sensitivity on cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), to explore the reasonable setting of upper limit of high pressure alarm and sensitivity of inspiratory trigger during cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and to improve the recovery effect of CPR. Methods From December 2015 to 2018, 53 cases of cardiopulmonary resuscitation patients in our hospital were randomly and evenly divided into group A and group B. 80 cmH2O of the upper limit of the high pressure alarm and -20 cmH2O of inspiratory trigger sensitivity was applied to patients of group A. Group B using conventional settings, the upper limit of the high pressure alarm with 35 mH2O and inspiratory trigger sensitivity with flow trigger 3. Expiratory tidal volume (VTe), respiratory rate (f), idal carbon dioxide (PETCO2), arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) at 2, 10, 20 and 30 min in two groups were observed and recorded. Meanwhile, the success rate of recovery were compared between the two groups. Results Compared with the mean relative tidal volume, mPETCO2, and mPaCO2 at each time points, group A was higher than group B (P < 0.05); the mean respiratory rate at each time points in group A was lower than in group B (P < 0.05); at 30 min, the success rate of resuscitation in group A (51.9%) was higher than that in group B (23.1%) (P < 0.05). Conclusion The upper limit of the high pressure alarm with 80 cmH2O and sensitivity of inspiratory trigger with - 20 mH2O can improve the recovery effect of CPR.
