Acute cardiac care & resuscitation
Use of CPR feedback devices to treat out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in Germany: Associated with improved return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC)-rates, but infrequent usage, in a registry-based analysis of 107,548 cases
Authors' conclusion
We could show a minor association between the use of feedback devices and any ROSC, but not for ROSC on hospital admission, in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients in a generalized linear mixed model.
Study context

- OHCA treated by EMS, German Resuscitation Registry, 2015–2022
- Participants
- 107,548 records
- Exposure
- CPR feedback devices vs no feedback devices
- Outcome
- ROSC at any time and at hospital admission
Methodological detailsregistry-based
- Registry-based
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
Any ROSC and ROSC at hospital admission
Hospital admission with spontaneous circulation
Observational data: associations, not effects.
Further findings
Hospital admission with spontaneous circulation (unadjusted)
difference 2.6%
Hospital admission with spontaneous circulation (unadjusted)
- In both groups, ROSC rates higher than predicted by the Rosc After Cardiac Arrest (RACA) score
Feedback device usage
- Used in cases overall
- 17.5%
- Usage 2015
- 7.1%
- Usage 2022
- 23.2%
