The new approach -- termed minimally interrupted cardiac resuscitation or MICR -- focuses on maximizing blood flow to the heart and brain through a series of coordinated interventions. It includes an initial series of 200 uninterrupted chest compressions, heart rhythm analysis with a single shock, 200 immediate post-shock chest compressions before the pulse check, early administration of epinephrine to stimulate the heart, and delayed placement of a flexible plastic tube into the trachea for the purpose of ventilating the lungs. Dr. Bentley J. Bobrow at the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, and associates evaluated the protocol in a study comparing survival before and after MICR training of fire department EMS personnel in two Arizona cities. Among 886 patients who suffered cardiac arrest in the two cities, survival-to-hospital discharge increased from 4 of 218 patients (1.8 percent) in the before MICR training group to 36 of 668 patients (5.4 percent) in the after MICR training group."This study," Drs. Mary Ann Peberdy and Joseph P. Ornato, at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond write in a related editorial, "represents confirmation that the quality of CPR, particularly the need for minimally interrupted chest compression ... is a meaningful development in the evolution of resuscitation science."
