Article Abstract

Aim: The incidence of compression-associated injuries from using the CLOVER3000, a new mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) device, is not well studied in the context of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Thus, we aimed to compare compression-associated injuries between CLOVER3000 and manual CPR.

Methods: This single-center, retrospective, cohort study used data from the medical records of a tertiary care center in Japan between April 2019 and August 2022. We included adult non-survivor patients with non-traumatic OHCA who were transported by emergency medical services and underwent post-mortem computed tomography. Compression-associated injuries were tested using logistic regression models adjusting for age, sex, bystander CPR performance, and CPR duration.

Results: A total of 189 patients (CLOVER3000, 42.3%; manual CPR, 57.7%) were included in the analysis. The overall incidence of compression-associated injuries was similar between the two groups (92.5% vs. 94.54%; adjusted odds ratio (AOR), 0.62 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.06-1.44]). The most common injury was anterolateral rib fractures with a similar incidence between the two groups (88.7% vs. 88.9%; AOR, 1.03 [95% CI, 0.38 to 2.78]). The second most common injury was sternal fracture in both groups (53.1% vs. 56.7%; AOR, 0.68 [95% CI, 0.36-1.30]). The incidence rates of other injuries were not statistically different between the both groups.

Conclusion: We observed a similar overall incidence of compression-associated injuries between the CLOVER3000 and manual CPR groups on small sample size.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of variable pitch locking screws in providing better interfragmentary and plate-bone compression compared to standard locking screws in cadaver bone, focusing on biomechanical stability.
  • Nine pairs of fresh-frozen cadaver specimens were tested for differences in compression forces and overall stability using both screw types under different loading conditions.
  • Results showed that variable pitch screws provided significantly greater interfragmentary and plate-bone compression, while no significant differences were found in the stability of constructs during cyclic loading or in 4-point bending tests.

Mechanical stress has been viewed as one of the key risk factors in accelerating the intervertebral disc degeneration process. The goal of the present study was to employ a repeated strike loading bovine caudal disc system to elucidate the pathophysiological impacts of cumulative mechanical stress on the disc. The discs in the model groups were subjected to two different mechanical stresses: one strike loading or repeated strike loading.

Purpose: To investigate the incidence and patterns of chest compression-associated internal thoracic artery injury (CAI) during cardiopulmonary resuscitation and identify the embolization techniques used to treat hemorrhage.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective study was conducted in the patients who underwent transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) for life-threatening hemorrhage caused by CAI at two tertiary care centers between May 2013 and December 2019. Data on background characteristics, imaging findings, embolization and outcomes were collected from the medical records.
