Evaluation of coronary perfusion pressure and diastolic blood pressure calculation methods in a swine model of pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation Open
During piglet CPR, measurements by late diastole, mid-diastole, and diastolic mean strongly agreed, whereas those at diastolic minimum were more discrepant. All methods performed similarly in discrimination of ROSC.
