ObjectiveTo assess utility of the FingerTPS™ system in measuring chest compression (CC) rate and force.MethodsFive minutes of CC was performed in a neonatal manikin without (n = 29) and with (n = 30) a metronome. The FingerTPS™ force (lbs.) was compared to pressure (mmHg) in a 50-mL normal-saline bag inside the manikin. FingerTPS™ CC rate and the time until a 20% decline from baseline force and pressure were calculated.ResultsThe normal-saline pressure declined earlier than the FingerTPS™ force. Metronome use did not influence CC rate, force or pressure.ConclusionsThe FingerTPS™ can be used to measure CC rate and force.
