Ultrasonographic Assessment During Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
Published on: October 24, 2020
Abstract:
Use of many different types of monitors during resuscitation has been described in the literature. These monitors differ in their usefulness, technical feasibility, initial costs, and long-term costs (Table 4). There have been many published reports of CPR success rates in the hospital and in the pre-hospital setting. In spite of considerable advances in technology over the past 30 years, survival from CPR has changed little over that time. Although numerous types of monitoring during resuscitation are possible, and sometimes useful, the impact of expensive technology on ultimate outcome (survival) must be critically evaluated.

A Ventilation assessment is critical for monitoring a patient's health status. Respiration, one of the most accessible vital signs, provides insights into the function of numerous body systems and can indicate serious health issues, such as brainstem injuries from head trauma.

Objectives and Importance:
The primary goal of respiratory assessment is to evaluate patients at early risk of clinical deterioration. Since respiratory distress often precedes other signs of declining health, breathing patterns and sounds become a...
