Frequency and influencing factors of cardiopulmonary resuscitation-related injuries during implementation of the American Heart Association 2010 Guidelines: a retrospective study based on autopsy and postmortem computed tomography.

Abstract：

AIM:To determine the frequency of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)-related injuries and factors involved in their occurrence, data based on forensic autopsy and postmortem computed tomography (PMCT) during implementation of the 2010 American Heart Association Guidelines for CPR were studied. METHODS:We retrospectively evaluated data on adult patients with non-traumatic deaths who had undergone manual CPR and autopsy from January 2012 to December 2014. CPR-related injuries were analyzed on autopsy records and PMCT images and compared with results of previous studies. RESULTS:In total, 180 consecutive cases were analyzed. Rib fractures and sternal fractures were most frequent (overall frequency, 66.1 and 52.8%, respectively), followed by heart injuries (12.8%) and abdominal visceral injuries (2.2%). Urgently life-threatening injuries were rare (2.8%). Older age was an independent risk factor for rib fracture [adjusted odds ratio (AOR), 1.06; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.04-1.08; p < 0.001], ≥ 3 rib fractures (AOR, 1.06; 95% CI, 1.02-1.09; p = 0.002), and sternal fracture (AOR, 1.03; 95% CI, 1.01-1.05; p < 0.001). Female sex was significantly associated with sternal fracture (AOR, 2.08; 95% CI, 1.02-4.25; p = 0.04). Chest compression only by laypersons was inversely associated with rib and sternal fractures. Body mass index and in-hospital cardiac arrest were not significantly associated with any complications. The frequency of thoracic skeletal injuries was similar to that in recent autopsy-based studies. CONCLUSIONS:Implementation of the 2010 Guidelines had little impact on the frequency of CPR-related thoracic skeletal injuries or urgently life-threatening complications. Older age was the only independent factor related to thoracic skeletal injuries.
