“…This was largely due to a higher number of low compressions (26 % of total compressions for CPREzy vs. 1 % for standard CPR; p < 0.001) [ 46 ]. Use of the CPREzy™ device may be associated with rescuer fatigue, as it is associated with a 21–26.5 % increase in rescuer work [ 47 ]. Moreover, use was associated with a significant risk of soft tissue injury of the rescuer’s hand [ 46 ].…”

BackgroundA number of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) adjunct devices have been developed to improve the consistency and quality of manual chest compressions. We investigated whether a CPR feedback device would improve CPR quality and consistency, as well as patient survival.MethodsWe conducted a randomized controlled study of patients undergoing CPR for cardiac arrest in the mixed medical-surgical intensive care units of four academic teaching hospitals. Patients were randomized to receive either standard manual CPR or CPR using the Cardio First Angel™ CPR feedback device. Recorded variables included guideline adherence, CPR quality, return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) rates, and CPR-associated morbidity.ResultsA total of 229 subjects were randomized; 149 were excluded; and 80 were included. Patient demographics were similar. Adherence to published CPR guidelines and CPR quality was significantly improved in the intervention group (p < 0.0001), as were ROSC rates (72 % vs. 35 %; p = 0.001). A significant decrease was observed in rib fractures (57 % vs. 85 %; p = 0.02), but not sternum fractures (5 % vs. 17 %; p = 0.15).ConclusionsUse of the Cardio First Angel™ CPR feedback device improved adherence to published CPR guidelines and CPR quality, and it was associated with increased rates of ROSC. A decrease in rib but not sternum fractures was observed with device use. Further independent prospective validation is warranted to determine if these results are reproducible in other acute care settings.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02394977.

“…One LOE 5 study 100 reported harm to a single participant when a hand got stuck in moving parts of the CPR feedback device. Another LOE 5 manikin study 118 demonstrated that additional mechanical work from the CPR provider was required to compress the spring in one of the pressure-sensing feedback devices. One case report (LOE 5) 119 documented soft tissue injury to a patient's chest when an accelerometer device was used for prolonged CPR.…”

“…In another study conducted to ensure that the CPR application is performed effectively and accurately, the CPREzy brand CPR test device was used again. This study investigated whether the test device creates extra work in regular heart massage applications (Berkom et al, 2008). In a study conducted in 2011, cardiac massage performed without feedback and using the PocketCPR brand CPR test device was evaluated.…”

The test system was created by adding flex and force sensors to this manikin to evaluate the results of heart massage applied on an artificial adult manikin, which has a spring that can give the chest stiffness of an adult human. This test system monitors and analyzes cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) applications performed by the automated CPR device or manually by the person. The signals received from the sensor are transferred to the computer via the serial port with the Arduino Uno card and displayed in real-time in MATLAB graphical user interface (GUI). This GUI, designed with Matlab 2021a software, analyzes the sensor signals resulting from CPR. It gives a graph of the repeats of compression per minute, the depth of each compression, and the compressions rate variable performed by the user or the automatic CPR device during the CPR application. This created test system can evaluate the accuracy of both the automatic CPR device performed in this study and the manual CPR application. The test system designed in this respect can be used in the training and evaluation of cardiac massage applications, which is included in the first aid courses in secondary education, associate degree, undergraduate, and vocational education courses.
