Hyun and Ryew: Does maintain consistency with a high quality of cardiac compression force between diastole and systole phase?

Abstract

The aim of the study was to analyze the cardiac compression force using the vertical force with normalized (100%) in cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Nineteen subjects with basic life support license and instructor career participated in this study. Cardiac compression was performed in a situation positioned practical manikin on ground reaction force and with 1,000 Hz of sample rate. Cardiac compression force in vertical direction showed significant difference among 30 times cardiac compression. Vertical cardiac compression force (N) showed significant difference according to the 30 times of cardiac compression in each diastole (45.79 N) and systole (714.38 N) phase. Also, normalized vertical force showed significant difference according to the 30 times cardiac compression in each diastole (6.80%) and systole (93.20%) phase. This suggests that there is a greater difficulty in performing diastole forces close to 0% than performing a sufficient maximal cardiac compression force in cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

INTRODUCTION

Cardiac compressions generate a small but critical amount of blood flow to the heart and brain (Rajab et al., 2011). Providing in early effective cardiac compression for such victims enhances the possibility of survival and neurologically favorable outcomes (Holmberg et al., 2000; Koster et al., 2010). Cardiac compression is a relatively complexive basic life support (BLS) task that includes not just an appropriate velocity rate or speed and circulatory-ventilation ratio but also correct hand positioning on the sternum, sufficient compression force to achieve an adequate depth of compression, proper duty cycle, chest decompression, and an adequate surface underneath the victim (Fenici et al., 2005).
Unfortunately, interpretation of data from animal studies is difficult because of the unique anatomy of the chest wall in humans, but it is generally accepted that a standard cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) compression of approximately 1 1/2-2 in (4–5 cm) is adequate for the normal-sized adult (Fenici et al., 2005). Cardiac compressions consist of forceful and fast oscillations of the lower half of the sternum (Kouwenhoven et al., 1960). Also, the technique of delivering cardiac compressions is highly standardized and based on international consensus that is updated in 5-year intervals (Berg et al., 2010; Koster et al., 2010; Sayre et al., 2010).
Like this, more efforts to increase the survival ratio on the cardiac arrested has been done, but it may be difficult to understand sufficiently on characteristics of cardiac compression force, and practice and familiarize clearly on the guide manual even though being completed of CPR. Particularly cardiac compression of every 30 times on the cardiac arrested should keep up with high qualitative level and consistency during systole and diastole phase. But it is not clear that cardiac compression force relative to phases should upkeep any degree of level and ratio. Therefore it requires efforts on updated guide manual to understand easily and provide to participants applied on CPR training course (student, ordinary person, employee of exercise rehabilitation, and clinical treatment).
The aim of this study was to verify whether normalization (100%) of maximal cardiac compression force can evaluate qualitative level and ratio (%) and maintain consistency during systole and diastole phase. The 1st assumption was set on that diastole force normalized will be approximated nearly to 0%. The 2nd assumption was set on that maximal compression force relative to compression depth will be occurred. The assumptions was based on the fact that participants was consisted of BSL and career instructors

MATERIALS AND METHODS

Subject

Nineteen subjects (mean age, 27.35±5.91 years; mean heights, 1.76±0.06 m; mean weights, 74.22±18.23 kg) with BLS and instructor career were participated in this study.

Experimental procedure

Cardiac compression was executed every 30 times×5 set on the condition positioned the educational Manikin (Little Anne QCPR, Laerdal, Norway) on ground reaction force (GRF) plate (AMTI-OR-7, Advanced Mechanical Technology Inc., Watertown, MA, USA) and, data sampling ratio was set at 1,000 Hz.
All procedure except for cardiac compression during CPR was omitted, and required 100–120 times per minutes, and compression depth of 5 cm (adult) according to revised manual and GRF data on only 1 set (30 times) of which, was monitored and stored to personal computer using Kwon GRF 2.0 (Visol, Gwangmyeong, Korea). Then setting on 3-dimension coordinate was defined chest-head direction as anterior-posterior axis, orthogonal direction against chest-head direction as medial-lateral axis, and as orthogonal axis against anterior-posterior-lateral axis respectively.

Definition of analysis phase

Analyzed data was normalized (100%) on only maximal vertical force of cardiac compression force, calculated each ratio between diastole and systole phase at the same period, and verified the sum ratio (100%) of 2 phases (Fig. 1).

Analysis and process of data

The average and the standard deviation of the calculated variables were obtained using IBM SPSS Statistics ver. 21.0 (IBM Co., Armonk, NY, USA), and repeated measure one-way analysis of variance for comparisons among each cardiac force (P<0.05).

RESULTS

Maximal-minimal force against vertical direction which was occurred during 30 times cardiac compression was as Table 1. Fig. 2 meant pattern of vertical force on data of 19 participants. Maximal- minimal compression force during 30 times compression showed different pattern, which was significant. Analyzed result by each phases (%) did not be maintained constant ratio of systole and diastole, which was significant (Table 2, Fig. 3).

DISCUSSION

Cardiac arrest may result in high mortality by occurring or reoccurring on cardiac patient and normal person, but improve quality of life with exercise rehabilitation program (Gassner et al., 2003). Above all, at occurring of cardiac arrest, proactive trial of CPR is very important, therefore proficient performer must more execute and understand accurately than that of CPR guideline manual on the mechanism of chest compression force particularly in case of a profession because cardiac arrest situation may be generated frequently in sport activity and exercise rehabilitation (Hyun et al., 2018). This study suggested to all participants to perform at diastole force of 0% nearly. As result, all participants did not maintain the complete diastole force during 30 times of cardiac compression in despite of being BLS or career instructor, thus 1st assumption was rejected. Specifically it showed low level of constancy with range of minimal 37.93 N to maximal 79.08 N (mean, 45.97±25.56 N).
In the meanwhile pervious study suggested that proper depth of cardiac compression may accomplish by force of about 50 kg (Hasegawa et al., 2014; Tomlinson et al., 2007), but this study showed more increased tendency as range of minimal 668.93 N to maximal 752.78 N (mean, 714.38±96.06 N) than previous study. That is, consistency showed rather low between 30 times compression, but sufficient force compression was performed equivalent to proper compression depth, thus the 2nd assumption was accepted.
Like the above, this study analyzed N-value on difference of compression force occurring diastole and systole phase, but inference of compression depth by N-value was difficult. Thus this study analyzed normalized diastole and systole phase at each compression phase. Diastole phase of which, showed complete diastole as approximate to 0% nearly, and showed range of minimal 5.5% to maximal 11.97% (mean, 6.79%±4.31%) in diastole phase, and also showed range of minimal 88.03% to maximal 94.5% (mean, 93.20%±4.31%) in systole phase.
Thus, when setting the criterion of mean 714 N (100%), insufficient chest diastole (6.80%) may reduce blood current to coronary and cerebral artery by pressure increase of thoracic cavity and cardiac output (Yannopoulos et al., 2005; Zuercher et al., 2010). But it was not clear how much a significant difference on compression force during systolic and diastolic phase effects on the cardiac arrested. Also, chest compression force during CPR is generated using gravity and hip flexion torque (Trowbridge et al., 2009). Those applying chest compression develop force by accelerating the upper body downwards using gravity, and use hip extension torque to hold the trunk up at decompression, which resists the inertial force of gravity (Trowbridge et al., 2009).
CPR is accompanied with complex movement of body according to guide manual. Therefore, it is necessary to build up system which can adjust duration to extend an activity of CPR instructor and can evaluation and diagnosis for level of understand on characteristics of cardiac compression.
