How to Learn Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

April 27, 2020 updated by: Łukasz Szarpak, Lazarski University

A Comparison of Two Chest Compression Techniques Among Laypersons. A Prospective, Randomized Simulation Study

the aim of the study is to evaluate two methods of teaching cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the context of chest compression quality. We will evaluate the usefulness of the application cpr feedback device (CPRMeter) for quality of chest compression.
