It's Trivia Tuesday! CPR #3

What should the initial FiO2 setting be during CPR?

a. 21% O2
b. 80% O2
c. Highest feasible inspired O2
d. 50% O2

c) Highest feasible inspired O2 Soar J, Böttiger BW, Carli P, et al. European Resuscitation Council Guidelines 2021: Adult advanced life support [published correction appears in Resuscitation. 2021 Oct;167:105-106]. Resuscitation. 2021;161:115-151. doi:10.1016/j.resuscitation.2021.02.010(1)​

During CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation), the initial FiO2 (fraction of inspired oxygen) setting should be the highest feasible inspired O2. This is because cardiac arrest results in a severe lack of oxygen to the body, and providing high levels of oxygen during resuscitation can help improve oxygen delivery to vital organs, such as the brain and heart.

In addition, high levels of oxygen during CPR can help improve the success rate of defibrillation, which is an important component of resuscitation for patients with a shockable rhythm.

These European Resuscitation Council Advanced Life Support guidelines, are based on the 2020 International Consensus on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Science with Treatment Recommendations. This section provides guidelines on the prevention of and ALS treatments for both in-hospital cardiac arrest and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
