The impact of chest compression rates on quality of chest compressions – A manikin study [PDF]
Resuscitation, 2012 Chest compressions are often performed at a variable rate during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The effect of compression rate on other chest compression quality variables (compression depth, duty-cycle, leaning, performance decay over time) is unknown.

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.

Resuscitation Plus, 2021 Aim: The European Resuscitation Council guidelines recommend that the hand position for chest compressions is obtained by “placing the heel of your hand in the centre of the chest”. Importantly, guidelines are based on a study on healthcare professionals

The effects of cognitive-motor multitasking demands on the quality of chest compressions in CPR—A randomized controlled trial [PDF]
Frontiers in MedicineBackgroundIn standard cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), rescuers switch between ventilation and chest compressions. We examined the effect of this task-switching requirement on chest-compression quality to gain insights into the cognitive mechanisms ...

Comparing sternal versus left-sided chest compressions for thoracoabdonimal injuries and compression biomechanics: A clinical-grade cadaver study [PDF]
Resuscitation PlusBackground: The lower half of the sternum is currently recommended as the area of compression (AOC) in CPR. Compressions over this area often result in outflow obstruction and inadequate compression of the left ventricle.

Does delivering chest compressions to patients who are not in cardiac arrest cause unintentional injury? A systematic review [PDF]
Resuscitation PlusBackground: Chest compressions are life-saving in cardiac arrest but concern by layperson of causing unintentional injury to patients who are not in cardiac arrest may limit provision and therefore delay initiation when required.
