Estimation of CPR Chest Compression Depth

NCT03230461 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 100

Last updated 2017-08-09

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Optimal chest compression depth during CPR is 4.56cm which is at variance with the current guidelines of 5.0-6.0cm. A change in guidelines is only worthwhile if healthcare professionals can accurately judge a subtle reduction in chest compression depth during CPR by a relatively small amount.
