Detecting pneumothorax during cardiopulmonary resuscitation: The potential of defibrillator measured transthoracic impedance
Pneumothorax causes TTI increases which are proportional to the size of the pneumothorax and ultimately reduce resuscitation success. High prevalence of chest skeletal injuries was observed in this study regardless of the presence of pneumothorax with higher amount of rib fractures in animals with severe pneumothorax. TTI measured by defibrillator can be used to detect the presence of pneumothorax during CPR. Future studies should explore this concept of TTI as a diagnostic tool, in order to improve resuscitation outcome in patients with pneumothorax.
