Patterns of external chest compression
Resuscitation, 2002We 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, 2006The 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, 2015Introduction: 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 ...

How to perform chest compressions
Nursing Standard, 2015Abstract Rationale and key points This article outlines the correct and effective technique for performing chest compressions for adults in cardiac arrest. Correct performance of chest compressions relies on various factors that are within the control of the nurse. Therefore, it is essential that nurses have comprehensive knowledge of this vital skill.

Mechanical devices for chest compression
Current Opinion in Critical Care, 2015The delivery of high-quality manual chest compressions is rarely achieved in practice. Mechanical chest compression devices can consistently deliver high-quality chest compressions. The recent publication of large prehospital trials of these devices provides important new information about the role of these devices.The Circulation Improving ...

The Efficacy of Chest Compressions in the Bell 407
Air Medical Journal, 2019The Air Medical industry is fraught with obstacles to patient care and providers can recognize that several sub-groups of patients can provide very challenging scenarios while in flight. However, the patient experiencing cardiac arrest in flight is, by its very nature, one that poses the most severe risk to the patient and provider. This study seeks to

Mechanical chest compression in the PARAMEDIC trial
The Lancet, 2015In the PARAMEDIC trial, Gavin Perkins and colleagues (March 14, p 947) did not identify any improvement in 30 day survival with the LUCAS-2 mechanical chest compression device compared with manual compressions for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Although their results are in accordance with previous studies, the use of mechanical chest compression ...
