Abstract

Application of the left lateral tilt position has been recommended during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) of pregnant patients. However, the left lateral tilt could displace the left ventricle (LV) besides the gravid uterus and may compromise the cardiac pump mechanism of CPR. Thus, we investigated the effect of left lateral tilt on the spatial relationship between the anterior-posterior axis (AP axis), which represents the direction of sternal displacement during CPR, and the LV. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records and multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) scans of 90 patients who underwent virtual gastroscopy using MDCT. Virtual gastroscopy was performed with the patient both in the left lateral tilt position and in the supine position. On an axial image showing the maximal area of the LV, the angle between the AP axis and the LV axis ($Angle_{AP-LV}$), the shortest distance between the AP axis and the mid-point of LV cavity ($D_{AP-MidLV}$) and the shortest distance between the AP axis and the LV apex ($D_{AP-Apex}$) were measured. In the supine scans, the LV was situated on the left side of the AP axis in 87 patients (96.7%). On the left lateral tilt scans, the mean tilt angle was $43.4{\pm}11.0^{\circ}$. $D_{AP-MidLV}$ and $D_{AP-Apex}$ were significantly longer in the left lateral tilt position (p<0.001), but $Angle_{AP-LV}$ was comparable between the positions. This study indicates that the left lateral tilt position may compromise the cardiac pump mechanism of chest compression in pregnant cardiac arrest patients.

임신부의 경우 심폐소생술동안 좌측 기울림을 적용하도록 권장하고 있다. 하지만, 이 좌측으로 기울리면 임신부의 자궁 뿐만이 아니라 좌심실도 좌측으로 편위되어 심폐소생술의 심장펌프기능이 떨어질 가능성이 있다. 이에 좌측 기울림이 심폐소생술동안 흉골 운동 방향을 대변하는 전후축과 좌심실의 공간적 관계에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 컴퓨터 단층촬영을 이용한 가상내시경검사를 받은 90명의 환자를 대상으로 의무기록과 컴퓨터단층촬영결과를 후향적으로 조사하였다. 가상내시경은 앙와위와 좌측 기울림 위치 모두에서 실시되었다. 좌심실 단면적이 가장 넓은 축면에서 전후축과 좌심실축사이의 각도($Angle_{AP-LV}$), 전후축과 좌심실 중앙사이 최단거리($D_{AP-MidLV}$), 및 전후축과 좌심실첨부사이 최단거리($D_{AP-Apex}$)를 측정하였다. 대상환자 중 87명(96.7%)에서는 앙와위에서 좌심실이 전후축의 좌측에 위치하였다. 좌측으로 기울인 영상에서의 기울림 각도는 $43.4{\pm}11.0^{\circ}$였다. $D_{AP-MidLV}$와 $D_{AP-Apex}$는 좌측 기울린 위치에서 의미있게 길었지만 (p<0.001), AngleAP-LV는 두 자세 사이에 비슷했다. 심장정지인 임신부에서 좌측으로 기울림은 흉부압박의 심장펌프 효과를 떨어뜨릴 수도 있다.
