Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Quality of chest compressions during continuous CPR; comparison between chest compression-only CPR and conventional CPR.
This study aimed to compare the time-dependent deterioration of chest compressions between chest compression-only cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and conventional CPR. ⋯ Chest compressions with appropriate depth decreased more rapidly during chest compression-only CPR than conventional CPR. We recommend that CPR providers change their roles every 1 min to maintain the quality of chest compressions during chest compression-only CPR. (UMIN-CTR C0000000321).
