Risk factors for chest trauma associated with prehospital mechanical chest compression after non-traumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in a South Korean regional registry [PDF]
Acute and Critical CareBackground Mechanical chest compression devices are increasingly used during cardiopulmonary resuscitation, particularly in the prehospital setting, where maintaining high-quality manual chest compressions is challenging.

Straddle versus Conventional Chest Compressions in a Confined Space; a Comparative Study
Archives of Academic Emergency Medicine, 2020 Introduction: When cardiac arrest occurs in a confined space, such as in an aircraft or ambulance, kneeling by the patient’s side may be difficult. Straddle chest compression is an alternative technique that can be used in a confined space. This study was

Strengths and weaknesses of chest compression training – a preliminary retrospective study
Swiss Medical Weekly, 2011 BACKGROUND: High quality chest compression is one of the key factors in successful resuscitation. A high standard of training is therefore decisive.

Chest Compression Fraction and Factors influencing it
Journal of Emergencies, Trauma, and Shock, 2022 Introduction: Chest compression fraction (CCF) is the cumulative time spent providing chest compressions divided by the total time taken for the entire resuscitation. Targeting a CCF of at least 60% is intended to limit interruptions in compressions and maximize coronary perfusion during resuscitation.

Circulation, 2012 The first description of modern cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) included the instruction to compress the chest “about 60 times per minute”1; however, the optimal compression rate was unknown. Franz Koenig is credited with describing the original technique for external cardiac massage, which included a compression rate of 30 to 40 per minute.2 But ...

Technique for chest compressions in adult CPR [PDF]
World Journal of Emergency Surgery, 2011 Chest compressions have saved the lives of countless patients in cardiac arrest as they generate a small but critical amount of blood flow to the heart and brain. This is achieved by direct cardiac massage as well as a thoracic pump mechanism. In order to optimize blood flow excellent chest compression technique is critical.
