Hyperventilation-Induced Hypotension During Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
Tom P. Aufderheide,Gardar Sigurdsson,Ronald G. Pirrallo,Demetris Yannopoulos,Scott McKnite,Chris von Briesen,Christopher W. Sparks,Craig J. Conrad,Terry A Provo,Keith G. Lurie +9 more
TL;DR: Subsequent animal studies demonstrated that similar excessive ventilation rates resulted in significantly increased intrathoracic pressure and markedly decreased coronary perfusion pressures and survival rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of incomplete chest wall decompression during cardiopulmonary resuscitation on coronary and cerebral perfusion pressures in a porcine model of cardiac arrest
Demetris Yannopoulos,Scott McKnite,Tom P. Aufderheide,Gardar Sigurdsson,Ronald G. Pirrallo,David G. Benditt,Keith G. Lurie,Keith G. Lurie +7 more
TL;DR: Incomplete chest wall recoil during the decompression phase of CPR increases endotracheal pressure, impedes venous return, decreases compression-induced aortic pressures and results in a decrease of mean arterial pressure, coronary and cerebral perfusion pressure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rationale, development and implementation of the Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium Epistry—Cardiac Arrest
Laurie J. Morrison,Graham Nichol,Thomas D. Rea,Jim Christenson,Clifton W. Callaway,Shannon W. Stephens,Ronald G. Pirrallo,Dianne L. Atkins,Daniel P. Davis,Ahamed H. Idris,Craig D. Newgard +10 more
TL;DR: This paper will serve as the reference for subsequent ROC manuscripts and for the common data elements captured in both ROC Epistry--Cardiac Arrest and the ROC trials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Incomplete chest wall decompression: a clinical evaluation of CPR performance by EMS personnel and assessment of alternative manual chest compression-decompression techniques.
Tom P. Aufderheide,Ronald G. Pirrallo,Demetris Yannopoulos,John P. Klein,Chris von Briesen,Christopher W. Sparks,Kimberly A. Deja,Craig J. Conrad,David J. Kitscha,Terry A Provo,Keith G. Lurie +10 more
TL;DR: The goal was to determine if a change in CPR technique or hand position would improve complete chest wall recoil, while maintaining adequate duty cycle, compression depth, and correct hand position placement, in emergency medical services personnel on patients with an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
Journal ArticleDOI
Early versus later rhythm analysis in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

Pirrallo,Gary M. Vilke,George Sopko,Myron L. Weisfeldt +26 more
TL;DR: It is found that among patients who had an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, there is no difference in the outcomes with a brief period, as compared with a longer period, of EMS-administered CPR before the first analysis of cardiac rhythm.
