“…In a multi-center randomized study, the results of the ASPIRE Trial (Assisted Prehospital International Resuscitation Research) indicated that survival to hospital discharge and good neurological outcomes were lower in A-CPR than in S-CPR (68). The results of two nonrandomized, small sample size studies support the effectiveness of A-CPR (69,70). Another large, randomized study (30) reports that survival rates with ROSC and satisfactory neurological outcomes were better with A-CPR than with S-CPR.…”

“…Automatic mechanical chest compression may be needed during resuscitation by AutoPulse or Lukas till return of spontaneous circulation and definitive treatment. The new revascularization guideline of ESC indicates ECMO usage if the conservative efforts fail to maintain circulation and gas exchange [38][39][40].…”

Electrical storm (ES) is defined as ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation occurring at least three times in 24 h leading to hemodynamic unstable state that needs cardioversion or defibrillation. ES may cause fast hemodynamic impairment, leading to “low-perfusion” or “no perfusion” state of the organs, a vicious circle pointing toward cardiogenic shock, multi-organ failure, and pulseless electrical activity. ES in ICD patients may be a strong predictor of arrhythmic and nonarrhythmic death, as well as of rehospitalization. The first step is to start cardiopulmonary resuscitation to achieve complete hemodynamic stabilization to prevent the low-flow or no-flow state. The patient has to be transported to an intensive care unit for further specific treatment. The arrhythmia should be treated with specific antiarrhythmic agents, for example, amiodarone, lidocain and bretylium, and then all the reversible causes have to be detected and treated as fast as possible. Underlying heart disease determines the specific treatment such as coronary revascularization, mechanical circulatory and respiratory support, and ablation of the arrhythmic foci.

“…Hallstrom et al beobachteten sogar eine tendenzielle Verschlechterung des neurologischen Outcome der überlebenden Patienten. Die ASPIRE-Studie sorgte für Aufsehen, denn das negative Ergebnis stand den bisher durchweg positiven Erfahrungen anderer Untersucher [24], einschließlich der eigenen Ergebnisse [20], entgegen. In der genaueren Analyse der 5 an der ASPIRE-Studie beteiligten Studienzentren zeigte sich, dass die negativen Ergebnisse überwiegend an einem Studienort generiert wurden.…”

Survival rates after cardiac arrest remain poor despite substantial efforts to advance the cardiopulmonary resuscitation algorithm in the last decades. Recent changes in the resuscitation guidelines in 2005 focused on minimizing interruptions during chest compressions. The aim to provide optimal chest compressions led to the development of automated mechanical chest compression devices, one of which is the AutoPulse resuscitation system. A case of successful use of the AutoPulse system in a 66-year-old patient with sudden cardiac arrest is presented and a review is given of more than 3 years experience in the routine use of this mechanical device for CPR in the emergency medical system in Bonn. Based on this experience, the AutoPulse system is considered to be a safe and effective technical advancement that under certain CPR conditions can be a helpful tool and provide an increased quality of chest compressions.
