Quality of closed chest compression on a manikin in ambulance vehicles and flying helicopters with a real time automated feedback

Quality of chest compressions by Down syndrome people: A pilot trial

“…Applied work was calculated as: CC rate × CC depth. 11 Analysis of the test total time (2 min) and an analysis segregated by time (first minute and second minute) were done.…”

The Specific Effect of Metronome Guidance on the Quality of One-person Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Rescuer Fatigue

“…Various audiovisual feedback systems have been studied to improve the quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10). Audio prompt (metronome) guidance is the simplest and most economic method among these systems, and a few studies have shown that it improves the end-tidal CO 2 levels during CPR (1)(2)(3).…”

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Quality by Helicopter Rescue Swimmers While Flying

“…1 A relevant point in this discussion is if cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is feasible in moving medical vehicles (ambulances and helicopters) and can be performed with adequate quality. In drowning cases, immediate and continued good quality CPR with emphasis not only on chest compression (CC) but also on rescue ventilations is essential to achieve the best possible neurologic outcome.…”

“…5 However, the limited space, movements, and vibrations could interfere with CPR quality and might be dangerous for the rescuer. 1,6,7 Some studies have assessed the CPR quality delivered by helicopter health staff and the impact of feedback devices, observing a relatively good in-flight CPR quality. 1,8 In countries like Spain or Sweden, offshore rescue helicopter crews do not include medical/ nurse staff, but they do include professional lifeguards or rescue divers; unfortunately, we lack data about the CPR performance of these nonhealth emergency staff.…”
