CPR quality - A measurable difference

Better quality CPR in your hands and right before your eyes

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) has a direct effect on sudden cardiac arrest patient outcomes. Yet the effectiveness of CPR is often compromised by the lack of procedural standards. Variations in ventilation and chest compressions can mean the difference between life and death.¹ ²

The American Heart Association (AHA) has developed specific resuscitation guidelines to address the need for consistent high quality CPR. Philips is meeting this challenge with solutions that provide measurable data to improve CPR quality.

The Philips monitors and defibrillators, equipped with the Q-CPR™ measurement tool, deliver real-time feedback during actual cardiac arrests, providing you with vital information to improve technique and help save more lives with quality CPR.

2013 AHA Consensus Statement

5 Parameters for more effective CPR

Compression depth: At least 2"
Ventilation rate: <10/minute
Compression rate: At least 100/minute
Full chest recoil
Minimal interruptions/hands off time: <10 seconds per pause

Use past data to improve future performance

After CPR data is captured, you can use our HeartStart Event Review Pro software to gather comprehensive data for debriefing, training and ongoing improvement.

An independent study of CPR performance demonstrated a positive correlation between the use of performance briefing and data analysis and the increase in return of spontaneous circulation.⁵

Our HeartStart Event Review Pro software is equipped with easy-to-use tools that allow you to pinpoint key areas in a specific patient’s code event to help you learn and adapt procedures for future events.

You can't improve what you don't measure

With Q-CPR you can:

Meet compression targets:

--Depth: at least 2”

--Rate: at least 100/ per minute

--Complete release

Find out if ventilation is <10/minute to avoid hyperventilation*

View real-time feedback on the Q-CPR meter display (or directly on the HeartStart MRx monitor) to quickly adjust your performance and limit interruptions to <10 seconds per pause, which can improve chance of patient survival ³ ⁴

Listen to voice prompts to coach and alert you to make needed adjustments along the way

*(Available on the HeartStart MRx only)

Designed to improve CPR during a code

Philips CPR solutions can help your team measure the resuscitation parameters critical to CPR success.

Featuring real-time visual and corrective audio feedback, our Q-CPR measurement tool will alert you any time performance deviates significantly from AHA guidelines.
