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.

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 ...

Mechanical versus manual chest compressions in the treatment of in-hospital cardiac arrest patients in a non-shockable rhythm: a randomised controlled feasibility trial (COMPRESS-RCT) [PDF]
Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine, 2018 Background Mechanical chest compression devices consistently deliver high-quality chest compressions. Small very low-quality studies suggest mechanical devices may be effective as an alternative to manual chest compressions in the treatment of adult in ...

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.
