Quality of Pediatric Chest Compression: Comparing Four CPR Feedback Devices With Standard BLS by a Single Rescuer: A Randomised Controlled Manikin Trial

The aim of this study was to compare four different CPR feedback devices to standard BLS in terms of the quality of single rescuer pediatric resuscitation. Therefore, the investigators hypothesis was that there would be no difference between CPR methods in terms of chest compression quality parameters.

Detailed Description

Cardiac arrest is a leading cause of death worldwide. High-quality chest compressions are of paramount importance for survival and good neurological outcome. Unfortunately, even health professionals have difficulty performing effective CPR. Chest compression (CC) is often too shallow, compression ratio is inadequate, and hands-off time is too long. CPR feedback devices might be an option for rescuers to in order to increase CC efficiency.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Effective compressions
Time Frame: 1 day
Effective compressions was defined as compression with correct depth (40-50mm), correct hand position and complete decompressions
1 day

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Chest compression depth
Time Frame: 1 day
To measure chest compression depth during 8 minutes. Chest compression depth will be measured using the software connected to the manikin and computer
1 day
Chest compression rate
Time Frame: 1 day
To measure the chest compression rate during 8 minutes. Chest compression rate will be measured using the software connected to the manikin and computer
1 day
effective compressions ratio
Time Frame: 1day
effective compressions ratio was defined as effective compressions [%] multiplied by flow time [%]
1day
Flow time was defined as the sum of all periods during which chest compressions were performed
Time Frame: 1 day
flow time was defined as the sum of all periods during which chest compressions were performed.
1 day
absolute hands-off time
Time Frame: 1 day
absolute hands-off time (HOT) was defined as the sum of all periods without chest compressions or ventilation
1 day
VAS (visual analogue scale)
Time Frame: 1 day
after having completed the 8 min testing period, the study participants were asked how challenging they had experienced standard BLS or resuscitation which the respective feedback device. answers were rated on a 10-point Lickert scale (most difficult = 1 to easiest = 10)
1 day
Prefered CPR device
Time Frame: 1 day
after having completed the 8 min testing period, the study participants were asked how chellenging whitch method they would preferred. answers were rated on a 10-point Lickert scale (lower preferred = 1 to most preferred = 10)
1 day
