    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: High-fidelity simulators can simulate physiological responses to medical interventions. The dynamics of the partial arterial pressure of oxygen (PaO2), partial arterial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2), and oxygen pulse saturation (SpO2) during simulated cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) were observed and compared with the results from the literature. METHODS: Three periods of cardiac arrest were simulated using the METI Human Patient Simulator™ (Medical Education Technologies, Inc., Sarasota, FL, USA): cardiac arrest, chest compression-only CPR, and chest compression-only CPR with continuous flow insufflation of oxygen (CFIO). RESULTS: In the first period, the observed values remained constant. In the second period, PaCO2 started to rise and peaked at 63.5 mmHg. In the CFIO period, PaCO2 slightly fell. PaO2 and SpO2 declined only in the second period, reaching their lowest values of 44 mmHg and 70%, respectively. In the CFIO period, PaO2 began to rise and peaked at 614 mmHg. SpO2 exceeded 94% after 2 minutes of CFIO. CONCLUSIONS: The METI Human Patient Simulator™ accurately simulated the dynamics of changes in PaCO2. Use of this METI oxygenation model has some limitations because the simulated levels of PaO2 and SpO2 during cardiac arrest correlate poorly with the results from published studies.
