Patterns of external chest compression

Resuscitation, 2002
We studied the performance of external chest compression by 20 fourth year medical students on 2 study days, separated by 5-7 weeks, 4-8 months after they had been initially trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Our hypotheses were (1) that a given individual would perform external chest compressions in the same manner each time CPR was ...

Radiological assessment of the adult chest: Implications for chest compressions

Resuscitation, 2006
The recommended depth for chest compression during adult cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is 4-5 cm, and for children one-third the anterior-posterior (AP) chest diameter. A compression depth of one-third of the AP chest diameter has also been suggested for adult CPR.

Abstract 17253: Chest Compression Hemodynamics are Dependent on Chest Compression Rate

Circulation, 2015
Introduction: The mechanisms through which chest compressions (CC) generate blood flow remain controversial. The thoracic pump model is CC rate insensitive in the range 60 - 150 compressions per minute (cpm) but is sensitive to change in CC duty cycle with the prediction that increasing duty cycle would result in a modest, but ...
