    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy of early resuscitation of active compression-decompression cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ACD-CPR) with standard CPR in pre-hospital cardiac arrest. METHODS: Ninety-two patients with cardiac arrest occurring out of hospital were allocated to ACD-CPR (cardio pump) or standard CPR randomly, then determine systolic blood pressure (SBP) of both groups at the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 10th, 15th, 30th minute after the beginning of resuscitation, and the proportion of resumption of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), as well as admission rate. RESULTS: The SBP and ROSC at 3rd, 5th, 10th, 15th minute were significantly higher in the group receiving ACD-CPR than in the group receiving standard CPR. On arriving the hospital, the survival rate was higher in the ACD-CPR group than in the control group, but of no statistical significance. CONCLUSION: ACD-CPR may improve the efficacy of early resuscitation in patients with pre-hospital cardiac arrest.
