Physical Workload Identify in Chest Compression Position Using Surface Electromyogram

April 1, 2014 updated by: Jaehoon Oh, Hanyang University

The chest compression depth decreases over time after starting continuous chest compression due to the rescuers' fatigue.

The investigators hypothesized that the frequency parameters from surface electromyogram from each muscle during chest compression may reflect the muscle fatigue of the rescuers.

Then investigators can identify which of the body are mainly used and get tired by continuous chest compression using surface electromyogram.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
median frequency of electromyogram
Time Frame: two weeks

median frequency of electromyogram in 16 muscles during chest compression

The muscles are flexor carpi radialis, extensor carpi radialis, biceps brachii, triceps brachii, deltoideus, erector spinae (cervical area), trapezius, rhomboid, erector spinae (thoracic area), erector spinae (lumbar), obliquus externus abdominis, rectus abdominis, pectoralis, quadriceps femoris, biceps femoris, gastrocnemius. On the dominant side of the rescuers, we will attach sixteen electrodes on these muscles.
