Proper management of Tidal Volume (Vt) is crucial to ensure safe and effective manual ventilation during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). A recent study demonstrated that optimizing tidal volume can significantly impact patient outcomes. Specifically, an optimal tidal volume has been associated with a threefold increase in survival rates and a fourfold increase in the number of patients discharged from the hospital with positive neurological outcomes (1).
But what exactly is tidal volume ?
In this must-watch video, you will discover the insights of tidal volume and its significant impact on patient outcomes during CPR
