Randomized Controlled Trial
Comparison of chest compression quality between the overlapping hands and interlocking hands techniques: A randomised cross-over trial.
Performing quality chest compressions is fundamental to the management of cardiopulmonary arrest. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of two hand positions: overlapping versus interlocking for performing chest compressions during cardiopulmonary arrest. ⋯ This study failed to demonstrate a difference in effectiveness between overlapping and interlocking hand chest compressions during cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
