Abstract
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation is the most commonly used method facing cardiac arrest. The 2010 CPR guidelines emphasized high quality chest compressions and recommended continuous compression for 2 minutes after defibrillation to minimize interruptions in compressions. However, starting chest compressions immediately after a defibrillation shock may be harmful, if the heart is providing spontaneous beats and being subjected to external compressions at the same time. So it is very important to recognize ROSC during CPR, the methods of which include touching the pulse, amplitude spectral area, partial pressure end-tidal carbon dioxide, coronary perfusion pressure, central venous oxygen saturation, chest compression fraction, regional cerebral oxygen saturation, photoplethysmography, conjunctival oxygen tension, transthoracic-impedance plethysmography and echocardiography. This paper gives a review of the ROSC prognosis and recognition methods during CPR. Key words: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation; Return of spontaneous circulation; Prognosis; Recognition; Progress
