“…1 In addition the new 2010 guidelines recommend an even greater depth of 50-60mm. 12 Our study showed an increase in the duty-cycle at faster rates approaching the recommended 50% at a compression rate of 160 min -1 . 12 This may be due to the shorter time available between each compression leading to the formation of a more natural compression-release cycle.…”

“…12 Our study showed an increase in the duty-cycle at faster rates approaching the recommended 50% at a compression rate of 160 min -1 . 12 This may be due to the shorter time available between each compression leading to the formation of a more natural compression-release cycle. Interestingly a study by Handley and Handley found no relationship between rate and duty-cycle when rates up to a rate of 100 min -1 were tested.…”

“…Thirdly, since our study was performed, ERC Guidelines 2010 has recommended a compression depth of 5-6 cm. 12 Our data suggests that this depth recommendation will be challenging to achieve for many rescuers. Finally, chest compressions were performed without feedback from a CPR feedback / prompt device.…”

“…11 The ERC Guidelines 2010 did however recommend an upper compression rate of 120 min -1 . 12 Chest compression rate is one indicator and measure of chest compression quality. 13 It is currently unknown how chest compression rate influences the other important chest compression variables that also impact outcome, i.e., compression depth, dutycycle, leaning and the impact of compression duration by a single rescuer on decay of compression quality.…”

“…According to the ERC Basic Life Support (BLS) guidelines 2010, a bystander should shout for help after he or she finds a victim who is unresponsive [1,2]. This recommendation may be based on the assumption that an increased number of rescuers may facilitate the BLS actions.…”

Does the number of rescuers affect the survival rate from out-of-hospital cardiac arrests? Two or more rescuers are not always better than one

et al. 2013

Review: An increased number of rescuers may improve the survival rate from out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCAs). The majority of OHCAs occur at home and are handled by family members.Materials and Methods: Data from 5,078 OHCAs that were witnessed by citizens and unwitnessed by citizens or emergency medical technicians from January 2004 to March 2010 were prospectively collected. The number of rescuers was identified in 4,338OHCAs and was classified into two (single rescuer (N=2,468) and multiple rescuers (N=1870)) or three (single rescuer, two rescuers (N=887) and three or more rescuers (N=983)) groups. The backgrounds, characteristics and outcomes of OHCAs were compared between the two groups and among the three groups.Results: When all OHCAs were collectively analysed, an increased number of rescuers was associated with better outcomes (one-year survival and one-year survival with favourable neurological outcomes were 3.1% and 1.9% for single rescuers, 4.1% and 2.0% for two rescuers, and 6.0% and 4.6% for three or more rescuers, respectively, (p=0.0006 and p<0.0001)). A multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the presence of multiple rescuers is an independent factor that is associated with one-year survival (odds ratio (95% confidence interval): 1.539 (1.088-2.183)). When only OHCAs that occurred at home were analysed (N=2902), the OHCAs that were handled by multiple rescuers were associated with higher incidences of bystander CPR but were not associated with better outcomes.Conclusions: In summary, an increased number of rescuers improves the outcomes of OHCAs. However, this beneficial effect is absent in OHCAs that occur at home. Word count 250
