Objective To study the effectiveness and safety of abdominal lifting and compression method in patients sufferred from cardiac arrest (CA).Methods According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria,72 patients from Hainan People's Hospital and Zhengzhou People's Hospital were enrolled for study of abdominal lifting and compression (ALC) method from January 2014 to June 2015.The markers of respiratory and circulatory performance of all patients were recorded,and re-collected after CPR with ALC.In addition,the data of demographics and clinical signs of patients were collected.The rates of restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and successful resuscitation were calculated.Differential analysis of singlegroup design univariate quantitative and qualitative data was carried out.Results A total of 72 patients were included finally.The ROSC rate was 15.3％ (11/72) after using ALC equipment,and there was no statistically significant difference in rate of ROSC (P =0.566) between ALC and pre-test (13.0％).However,compared with NT group resuscitated without using ALC method or with using chest compression method,the rate of ROSC was significantly improved in the ALC group (15.3％ vs.O.1％,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions Abdominal lifting and compression CPR equipment is stable,portable and safe in practice.Abdominal lifting and compression CPR method has its prominent role in saving patients from respiratory and cardiac arrest,and it is sufficient to overcome the disadvantages of conventional CPR method.
