Abstract

Instead of the ventricles, atria may be the cardiac structures mainly compressed during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). This study aimed to assess the prevalence and the mechanical characteristics of atrial compression, named the "atrial pump mechanism", in patients undergoing CPR. A retrospective cohort study was conducted on patients with witnessed refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest who were admitted to a tertiary referral center for extracorporeal CPR. The area of maximal compression (AMC) by chest compressions was assessed by transesophageal echocardiography. Right atrial wall excursion (RAWE), left atrial fractional shortening (LAFS), right ventricular fractional area change (RVFAC), and left ventricular fractional shortening (LVFS) were measured. Common carotid and middle cerebral artery peak velocities were assessed using color-Doppler imaging as markers of cardiac outflow and cerebral perfusion. Forty patients were included in the study. Five (12.5%) had AMC over the atria. The atrial pump pattern was characterized by marked atrial compression with higher RAWE and LAFS values compared to the other patients (p < 0.001). Common carotid Doppler and transcranial Doppler-velocity patterns were detectable in all patients with open left ventricular outflow tract, without differences between patients. CPR was successful in four patients (80%) with atrial pump compared to 14 (40%) with no atrial pump mechanism (p = 0.155). In this series of selected patients with witnessed cardiac arrest, the prevalence of the atrial pump mechanism was not negligible. It may contribute to forward blood flow and the maintenance of cerebral perfusion during prolonged cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

心肺复苏过程中 "心房泵机制 "的超声心动图线索。
在心肺复苏(CPR)过程中,心房而非心室可能是主要受压的心脏结构。本研究旨在评估心肺复苏患者心房受压的发生率和机械特征,即 "心房泵机制"。这项回顾性队列研究的对象是在一家三级转诊中心接受体外心肺复苏术的目击难治性院外心脏骤停患者。经食道超声心动图评估了胸外按压的最大按压面积(AMC)。测量了右心房壁偏移(RAWE)、左心房分数缩短(LAFS)、右心室分数面积变化(RVFAC)和左心室分数缩短(LVFS)。使用彩色多普勒成像评估颈总动脉和大脑中动脉峰值速度,作为心脏流出和脑灌注的标记。研究共纳入 40 名患者。其中五人(12.5%)的心房有 AMC。心房泵模式的特点是心房明显受压,与其他患者相比,RAWE 和 LAFS 值更高(P<0.05)。

期刊介绍: Internal and Emergency Medicine (IEM) is an independent, international, English-language, peer-reviewed journal designed for internists and emergency physicians. IEM publishes a variety of manuscript types including Original investigations, Review articles, Letters to the Editor, Editorials and Commentaries. Occasionally IEM accepts unsolicited Reviews, Commentaries or Editorials. The journal is divided into three sections, i.e., Internal Medicine, Emergency Medicine and Clinical Evidence and Health Technology Assessment, with three separate editorial boards. In the Internal Medicine section, invited Case records and Physical examinations, devoted to underlining the role of a clinical approach in selected clinical cases, are also published. The Emergency Medicine section will include a Morbidity and Mortality Report and an Airway Forum concerning the management of difficult airway problems. As far as Critical Care is becoming an integral part of Emergency Medicine, a new sub-section will report the literature that concerns the interface not only for the care of the critical patient in the Emergency Department, but also in the Intensive Care Unit. Finally, in the Clinical Evidence and Health Technology Assessment section brief discussions of topics of evidence-based medicine (Cochrane’s corner) and Research updates are published. IEM encourages letters of rebuttal and criticism of published articles. Topics of interest include all subjects that relate to the science and practice of Internal and Emergency Medicine.
