Chest Compression Energy(kg) Measurement of 4 Types of Rescue Device on the Floor

Abstract

:The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of high quality CPR using the 4 types of rescue device equipment and chest compressions energy measurement in pre-hospital settings. So, we used the mode to insert load cell in ALS Skill master Manikin to develop CFMM(Compression Force Measurement Manikin) on main stretcher, CPR board, long spine board, scoop stretcher and floor. And, our research team could know that the main stretcher needed average force of 32.55 (±1.01) kg, CPR board of 27.23 (±1.08) kg, long spine board of 27.13 (±1.18) kg, Scoop Stretcher of 27.38 (±1.05) kg and Floor of 27.24 (±0.93) kg. CPR board must be necessary in the case of CPR on main stretcher in a moving ambulance. But if the condition of patient's back surface is the removable stretcher and the long spine plate, the patient doesn't have to be spent time to use a CPR board. Furthermore, this research suggests to consider that how to take advantage of the education to students for the equipment to check in real time the energy(kg) requirement of chest compressions.
