✦ Synopsis
standard CPR because of limited paramedic manpower necessary to continue IAC-CPR. Twenty-eight percent of the IAC-CPR group and 31% of the standard CPR group had a rhythm and pulse on hospital arrival. The frequency of emesis after intubation was not significantly different between the two groups. There were no known visceral injuries although only six autopsies were performed. The authors conclude that IAC-CPR does not improve cardiac resuscitation rates in the prehospital setting. [Editor's note: Unfortunately ultimate survival and permanent neurologic sequelae were not reported in these two Study groups. This is the bottom line in determining the efficacy of IAC-CPR over other modalities of CPR.
