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.

Use of a Real-Time Training Software (Laerdal QCPR®) Compared to Instructor-Based Feedback for High-Quality Chest Compressions Acquisition in Secondary School Students: A Randomized Trial.

PLoS ONE, 2017
High-quality chest compressions are pivotal to improve survival from cardiac arrest. Basic life support training of school students is an international priority.

Chest Compressions in the Delivery Room [PDF]

Children, 2018
Annually, an estimated 13–26 million newborns need respiratory support and 2–3 million newborns need extensive resuscitation, defined as chest compression and 100% oxygen with or without epinephrine in the delivery room. Despite such care, there is a high incidence of mortality and neurologic morbidity.

The effects of cognitive-motor multitasking demands on the quality of chest compressions in CPR—A randomized controlled trial [PDF]

Frontiers in Medicine
BackgroundIn 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 Plus
Background: 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 Plus
Background: 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.

Chest Compressions During Sustained Inflation During Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation in Newborn Infants Translating Evidence From Animal Studies to the Bedside

JACC: Basic to Translational Science, 2019
Summary: Newborn infants receiving chest compressions in the delivery room have a high incidence of mortality (41%) and short-term neurological morbidity (e.g., 57% hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy and seizures).

Hands at work: A randomised cross-over mannequin-based trial exploring the impact of hand preference of health care professionals on effectiveness of chest compressions [PDF]

Resuscitation Plus
Aim and background: There are various theories regarding the ideal hand to be in contact with chest during chest compressions when healthcare professionals and medical students perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).

Different perceptions of thorax anatomy and hand placement for chest compressions among healthcare professionals and laypersons: Implications for cardiopulmonary resuscitation

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
