Background
An adjunct to assist cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) might improve the quality of CPR performance.Study Objectives
This study was conducted to evaluate whether a simple audio-visual prompt device improves CPR performance by emergency medical technicians (EMTs).Methods
From June 2008 to October 2008, 55 EMTs (39 men, mean age 34.9 ± 4.8 years) participated in this study. A simple audio-visual prompt device was developed. The device generates continuous metronomic sounds for chest compression at a rate of 100 beats/min with a distinct 30th sound followed by two respiration sounds, each for 1 second. All EMTs were asked to perform a 2-min CPR series on a manikin without the device, and one 2-min CPR series with the device.Results
The average rate of chest compressions was more accurate when the device was used than when the device was not used (101.4 ± 12.7 vs. 109.0 ± 17.4/min, respectively, p = 0.012; 95% confidence interval [CI] 97.2–103.8 vs. 104.5–113.5/min, respectively), and hands-off time during CPR was shorter when the device was used than when the device was not used (5.4 ± 0.9 vs. 9.2 ± 3.9 s, respectively, p < 0.001; 95% CI 5.2–5.7 vs. 8.3–10.3 s, respectively). The mean tidal volume during CPR with the device was lower than without the device, resulting in the prevention of hyperventilation (477.6 ± 60.0 vs. 636.6 ± 153.4 mL, respectively, p < 0.001; 95% CI 463.5–496.2 vs. 607.3–688.9 mL, respectively).Conclusion
A simple audio-visual prompt device can improve CPR performance by emergency medical technicians. 相似文献2.

Background
The quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is important to survival after cardiac arrest. Mechanical devices (MD) provide constant CPR, but their effectiveness may be affected by deployment timeliness.Objectives
To identify the timeliness of the overall and of each essential step in the deployment of a piston-type MD during emergency department (ED) resuscitation, and to identify factors associated with delayed MD deployment by video recordings.Methods
Between December 2005 and December 2008, video clips from resuscitations with CPR sessions using a MD in the ED were reviewed using time-motion analyses. The overall deployment timeliness and the time spent on each essential step of deployment were measured.Results
There were 37 CPR recordings that used a MD. Deployment of MD took an average 122.6 ± 57.8 s. The 3 most time-consuming steps were: (1) setting the device (57.8 ± 38.3 s), (2) positioning the patient (33.4 ± 38.0 s), and (3) positioning the device (14.7 ± 9.5 s). Total no flow time was 89.1 ± 41.2 s (72.7% of total time) and associated with the 3 most time-consuming steps. There was no difference in the total timeliness, no-flow time, and no-flow ratio between different rescuer numbers, time of day of the resuscitation, or body size of patients.Conclusions
Rescuers spent a significant amount of time on MD deployment, leading to long no-flow times. Lack of familiarity with the device and positioning strategy were associated with poor performance. Additional training in device deployment strategies are required to improve the benefits of mechanical CPR. 相似文献3.
Aim
The reported incidence of injuries due to cardiopulmonary resuscitation using manual chest compressions (manual CPR) varies greatly. Our aim was to elucidate the incidence of CPR-related injuries by manual chest compressions compared to mechanical chest compressions with the LUCAS device (mechanical CPR) in non-survivors after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.Methods
In this prospective multicentre trial, including 222 patients (83 manual CPR/139 mechanical CPR), autopsies were conducted after unsuccessful CPR and the results were evaluated according to a specified protocol.Results
Among the patients included, 75.9% in the manual CPR group and 91.4% in the mechanical CPR group (p = 0.002) displayed CPR-related injuries. Sternal fractures were present in 54.2% of the patients in the manual CPR group and in 58.3% in the mechanical CPR group (p = 0.56). Of the patients in the manual CPR group, there were 64.6% with at least one rib fracture versus 78.8% in the mechanical CPR group (p = 0.02). The median number of rib fractures among patients with rib fractures was 7 in the manual CPR group and 6 in the mechanical CPR group. No CPR-related injury was considered to be the cause of death.Conclusion
In patients with unsuccessful CPR after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, rib fractures were more frequent after mechanical CPR but there was no difference in the incidence of sternal fractures. No injury was deemed fatal by the pathologist. 相似文献4.
Aim
This study aims to compare the effect of three CPR prompt and feedback devices on quality of chest compressions amongst healthcare providers.Methods
A single blinded, randomised controlled trial compared a pressure sensor/metronome device (CPREzy™), an accelerometer device (Phillips Q-CPR) and simple metronome on the quality of chest compressions on a manikin by trained rescuers. The primary outcome was compression depth. Secondary outcomes were compression rate, proportion of chest compressions with inadequate depth, incomplete release and user satisfaction.Results
The pressure sensor device improved compression depth (37.24–43.64 mm, p = 0.02), the accelerometer device decreased chest compression depth (37.38–33.19 mm, p = 0.04) whilst the metronome had no effect (39.88 mm vs 40.64 mm, p = 0.802). Compression rate fell with all devices (pressure sensor device 114.68–98.84 min−1, p = 0.001, accelerometer 112.04–102.92 min−1, p = 0.072 and metronome 108.24 min−1 vs 99.36 min−1, p = 0.009). The pressure sensor feedback device reduced the proportion of compressions with inadequate depth (0.52 vs 0.24, p = 0.013) whilst the accelerometer device and metronome did not have a statistically significant effect. Incomplete release of compressions was common, but unaffected by the CPR feedback devices. Users preferred the accelerometer and metronome devices over the pressure sensor device. A post hoc study showed that de-activating the voice prompt on the accelerometer device prevented the deterioration in compression quality seen in the main study.Conclusion
CPR feedback devices vary in their ability to improve performance. In this study the pressure sensor device improved compression depth, whilst the accelerometer device reduced it and metronome had no effect. 相似文献5.

Background
Efficiently performed basic life support (BLS) after cardiac arrest is proven to be effective. However, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is strenuous and rescuers’ performance declines rapidly over time. Audio-visual feedback devices reporting CPR quality may prevent this decline. We aimed to investigate the effect of various CPR feedback devices on CPR quality.Methods
In this open, prospective, randomised, controlled trial we compared three CPR feedback devices (PocketCPR®, CPRmeter®, iPhone app PocketCPR®) with standard BLS without feedback in a simulated scenario. 240 trained medical students performed single rescuer BLS on a manikin for 8 min. Effective compression (compressions with correct depth, pressure point and sufficient decompression) as well as compression rate, flow time fraction and ventilation parameters were compared between the four groups.Results
Study participants using the PocketCPR® performed 17 ± 19% effective compressions compared to 32 ± 28% with CPRmeter®, 25 ± 27% with the iPhone app PocketCPR®, and 35 ± 30% applying standard BLS (PocketCPR® vs. CPRmeter®p = 0.007, PocketCPR® vs. standard BLS p = 0.001, others: ns). PocketCPR® and CPRmeter® prevented a decline in effective compression over time, but overall performance in the PocketCPR® group was considerably inferior to standard BLS. Compression depth and rate were within the range recommended in the guidelines in all groups.Conclusion
While we found differences between the investigated CPR feedback devices, overall BLS quality was suboptimal in all groups. Surprisingly, effective compression was not improved by any CPR feedback device compared to standard BLS. All feedback devices caused substantial delay in starting CPR, which may worsen outcome. 相似文献6.
Objective
TrueCPR is a new real-time compression depth feedback device that measures changes in magnetic field strength between a back pad and a chest pad. We determined its accuracy with a manikin on a test bench and on various surfaces.Methods
First, calibration and accuracy of the manikin and TrueCPR was verified on a drill press. Then, manual chest compressions were given, on a firm surface and on a foam or air mattress, with feedback of the TrueCPR or Q-CPR accelerometer, to achieve a depth of 50 mm. Compression depth measurements by the devices and the manikin were compared.Results
On a hard surface TrueCPR showed a systematic underestimation of 2–3 mm in the drill press. Manual tests on a hard surface showed a slightly larger underestimation of 4.5 mm. When guided by TrueCPR on a foam or air mattress, the TrueCPR measured a mean(±SD) chest compression depth of 52.0(±1.9) mm and 49.4(±2.6) mm respectively, while the manikin measured 54.4(±1.8) mm and 52.1(±1.4) mm, respectively (p < 0.001). When guided by the Q-CPR accelerometer on a foam or air mattress, the accelerometer measured depth of 54.3(±3.6) mm and 56.0(±3.8) mm respectively, compared to the manikin 42.4(±2.3) mm and 34.9(±3.6) mm, respectively (p < 0.001).Conclusion
TrueCPR measures depth precisely, independent of the stiffness of the surface upon which the CPR is being performed with a constant inaccuracy of <4.5 mm. A sternum-only accelerometer substantially overestimates depth when performing CPR on a soft surface. Correction for body displacement on a soft surface is essential for accurate delivery of chest compressions within the recommended depth range. 相似文献7.

Objective
In contrast to the resuscitation guidelines of children and adults, guidelines on neonatal resuscitation recommend synchronized 90 chest compressions with 30 manual inflations (3:1) per minute in newborn infants. The study aimed to determine if chest compression with asynchronous ventilation improves the recovery of bradycardic asphyxiated newborn piglets compared to 3:1 Compression:Ventilation cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).Intervention and measurements
Term newborn piglets (n = 8/group) were anesthetized, intubated, instrumented and exposed to 45-min normocapnic hypoxia followed by asphyxia. Protocolized resuscitation was initiated when heart rate decreased to 25% of baseline. Piglets were randomized to receive resuscitation with either 3:1 compressions to ventilations (3:1 C:V CPR group) or chest compressions with asynchronous ventilations (CCaV) or sham. Continuous respiratory parameters (Respironics NM3®), cardiac output, mean systemic and pulmonary artery pressures, and regional blood flows were measured.Main results
Piglets in 3:1 C:V CPR and CCaV CPR groups had similar time to return of spontaneous circulation, survival rates, hemodynamic and respiratory parameters during CPR. The systemic and regional hemodynamic recovery in the subsequent 4 h was similar in both groups and significantly lower compared to sham-operated piglets.Conclusion
Newborn piglets resuscitated by CCaV had similar return of spontaneous circulation, survival, and hemodynamic recovery compared to those piglets resuscitated by 3:1 Compression:Ventilation ratio. 相似文献8.
Introduction
Transport of patients with ongoing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) occurs frequently. It may not be possible to obtain rapid hospital access while maintaining CPR quality, because the ambulance's high speed can cause increased vibration and vehicle movement. We aimed to assess how the speed of ambulance affects chest compressions.Materials and methods
Five cycles of CPR were performed to the Resusci Anne manikin with the PC skill reporting system by experienced emergency medical technicians in ambulance traveling at one of four different speeds: stationary, 30, 60, or 90 km/h. Performance and acceleration data of chest compressions at different speeds were compared using repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA).Results
Fractions of chest compressions with adequate depth, duty cycles, average rates of chest compressions, and no flow fractions showed significant differences among different speeds (p = 0.026, <0.001, <0.001, 0.005, respectively), while average depth of chest compressions did not. Accelerations of 2 Hz component and ratios of 3-12 Hz to 0-2 Hz components showed significant differences among different speeds (p = 0.001 for all). None of the outcome variables showed a significant difference between the two types of ambulance.Conclusions
The speed of ambulance affects some aspects in the quality of chest compression during transport. Chest compressions with excessive depth, the average rate of chest compressions, and no-flow fraction increase as the speed of ambulance increase. Increase in the speed of ambulance also causes relative increase of high frequency acceleration in the chest compression, which represents unnecessary movement and force applied. 相似文献9.
Background
Current cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) guidelines recommend airway management and ventilation whilst minimising interruptions to chest compressions. We have assessed i-gel™ use during CPR.Methods
In an observational study of i-gel™ use during CPR we assessed the ease of i-gel™ insertion, adequacy of ventilation, the presence of a leak during ventilation, and whether ventilation was possible without interrupting chest compressions.Results
We analysed i-gel™ insertion by paramedics (n = 63) and emergency physicians (n = 7) in 70 pre-hospital CPR attempts. There was a 90% first attempt insertion success rate, 7% on the second attempt, and 3% on the third attempt. Insertion was reported as easy in 80% (n = 56), moderately difficult in 16% (n = 11), and difficult in 4% (n = 3). Providers reported no leak on ventilation in 80% (n = 56), a moderate leak in 17% (n = 12), and a major leak with no chest rise in 3% (n = 2). There was a significant association between ease of insertion and the quality of the seal (r = 0.99, p = 0.02). The i-gel™ enabled continuous chest compressions without pauses for ventilation in 74% (n = 52) of CPR attempts. There was no difference in the incidence of leaks on ventilation between patients having continuous chest compressions and patients who had pauses in chest compressions for ventilation (83% versus 72%, p = 0.33, 95% CI [−0.1282, 0.4037]). Ventilation during CPR was adequate during 96% of all CPR attempts.Conclusions
The i-gel™ is an easy supraglottic airway device to insert and enables adequate ventilation during CPR. 相似文献10.

Objectives
This study aimed to compare the time-dependent deterioration of chest compressions between chest compression-only cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and conventional CPR.Methods
This study involved 106 and 107 participants randomly assigned to chest compression-only CPR training and conventional CPR training, respectively. Immediately after training, participants were asked to perform CPR for 2 min and the quality of their CPR skills were evaluated. The number of chest compressions in total and those with appropriate depth were counted every 20-s CPR period from the start of CPR. The primary outcome was the CPR quality index calculated as the proportion of chest compressions with appropriate depth among total chest compressions.Results
The total number of chest compressions remained stable over time both in the chest compression-only and the conventional CPR groups. The CPR quality index, however, decreased from 86.6 ± 25.0 to 58.2 ± 36.9 in the chest compression-only CPR group from 0-20 s through 61-80 s. The reduction was greater than in the conventional CPR group (85.9 ± 25.5 to 74.3 ± 34.0). The difference in the CPR quality index reached statistical significance (p = 0.003) at 61-80 s period.Conclusions
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) 相似文献11.
Background
The performance of high-quality chest compressions with minimal interruptions is one of the most important elements of the “Chain of Survival.”Objectives
To evaluate the impact of a novel CPR PRO® (CPRO) device for manual chest compression on rescuer fatigue, pain, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) quality.Methods
Randomized crossover trial of 24 health care professionals performing continuous chest compression CPR for 10 min with a CPRO device and conventional manual CPR (MCPR). Data about chest compressions were recorded using a manikin. Rescuers' physiologic signs were recorded before and after each session, and heart rate (HR) data were tracked continuously. Fatigue was assessed with ratings of perceived exertion, and pain questionnaire.Results
All subjects completed 10 min of CPR with both methods. Significantly more rest breaks were taken during MCPR sessions (1.7 ± 2 vs. 0.21 ± 0.72). Subjects' perceived exertion was higher after MCPR, as well as the average (120.7 ± 16.8 vs. 110.8 ± 17.6) and maximal HR (134.3 ± 18.5 vs. 123.42 ± 16.5) during testing. Subjects reported more pain in the hands, especially the wrist, after performing MCPR. Average depth of compressions was higher with the CPRO device (4.6 ± 7.0 vs. 4.3 ± 7.9) and declined more slowly over time. Other CPR quality parameters, such as the correct position and complete release of pressure, were also better for CPRO CPR.Conclusions
CPRO device reduces rescuer fatigue and pain during continuous chest compression CPR, which results in a higher quality of CPR in a simulation setting. 相似文献12.
Background
Since the introduction of basic life support in the 1950s, on-going efforts have been made to improve the quality of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Even though bystander-CPR can increase the chance of survival almost fourfold, the rates of bystander initiated CPR have remained low and rarely exceed 20%. Lack of confidence and fear of committing mistakes are reasons why helpers refrain from initiating CPR. The authors tested the hypothesis that quality and confidence of bystander-CPR can be increased by supplying lay helpers with a basic life support flowchart when commencing CPR, in a simulated resuscitation model.Materials and methods
After giving written informed consent, 83 medically untrained laypersons were randomised to perform basic life support for 300s with or without a supportive flowchart. The primary outcome parameter was hands-off time (HOT). Furthermore, the participants’ confidence in their actions on a 10-point Likert-like scale and time-to-chest compressions were assessed.Results
Overall HOT was 147 ± 30 s (flowchart) vs. 169 ± 55 s (non-flowchart), p = 0.024. Time to chest compressions was significantly longer in the flowchart group (60 ± 24 s vs. 23 ± 18 s, p < 0.0001). Participants in the flowchart group were significantly more confident when performing BLS than the non-flowchart counterparts (7 ± 2 vs. 5 ± 2, p = 0.0009).Conclusions
A chart provided at the beginning of resuscitation attempts improves quality of CPR significantly by decreasing HOT and increasing the participants’ confidence when performing CPR. As reducing HOT is associated with improved outcome and positively impacting the helpers’ confidence is one of the main obstacles to initiate CPR for lay helpers, charts could be utilised as simple measure to improve outcome in cardiopulmonary arrest. 相似文献13.
Objectives
We developed and tested a training method for basic life support incorporating defibrillator feedback during simulated cardiac arrest (CA) to determine the impact on the quality and retention of CPR skills.Methods
298 subjects were randomized into 3 groups. All groups received a 2 h training session followed by a simulated CA test scenario, immediately after training and at 3 months. Controls used a non-feedback defibrillator during training and testing. Group 1 was trained and tested with an audiovisual feedback defibrillator. During training, Group 1 reviewed quantitative CPR data from the defibrillator. Group 2 was trained as per Group 1, but was tested using the non-feedback defibrillator. The primary outcome was difference in compression depth between groups at initial testing. Secondary outcomes included differences in rate, depth at retesting, compression fraction, and self-assessment.Results
Groups 1 and 2 had significantly deeper compressions than the controls (35.3 ± 7.6 mm, 43.7 ± 5.8 mm, 42.2 ± 6.6 mm for controls, Groups 1 and 2, P = 0.001 for Group 1 vs. controls; P = 0.001 for Group 2 vs. controls). At three months, CPR depth was maintained in all groups but remained significantly higher in Group 1 (39.1 ± 9.9 mm, 47.0 ± 7.4 mm, 42.2 ± 8.4 mm for controls, Groups 1 and 2, P = 0.001 for Group 1 vs. control). No significant differences were noted between groups in compression rate or fraction.Conclusions
A simplified 2 h training method using audiovisual feedback combined with quantitative review of CPR performance improved CPR quality and retention of these skills. 相似文献14.

Introduction
Single mode, pressure reduction (PR) crib mattresses are increasingly employed in hospitals to prevent skin injury and infection. However, single mode PR mattresses risk large mattress deflection during CPR chest compressions, potentially leading to inadequate chest compressions.Hypothesis
New, dual mode PR crib mattress technology provides less mattress deflection during chest compressions (CCs) with similar PR characteristics for prevention of skin injury.Methods
Epochs of 50 high-quality CCs (target sternum–spine compression depth ≥38 mm) guided by real-time force/deflection sensor (FDS) feedback were delivered to CPR manikin with realistic CC characteristics on two PR crib mattresses for four conditions: (1) single mode + backboard; (2) dual mode + backboard; (3) single mode − no backboard; and (4) dual mode − no backboard. Mattress displacement was measured using surface reference accelerometers. Mattress displacement ≥5 mm was prospectively defined as minimal clinically important difference. PR qualities of both mattresses were assessed by tissue interface pressure mapping.Results
During simulated high quality CC, single mode had significantly more mattress displacement compared to dual mode (mean difference 16.5 ± 1.4 mm, p < 0.0001) with backboard. This difference was greater when no backboard was used (mean difference 31.7 ± 1.5 mm, p < 0.0001). Both single mode and dual mode met PR industry guidelines (mean surface pressure <50 mmHg).Conclusions
Chest compressions delivered on dual mode pressure reduction crib mattresses resulted in substantially smaller mattress deflection compared to single mode pressure reduction mattresses. Skin pressure reduction qualities of dual mode pressure reduction crib mattress were maintained. We recommend that backboards continue to be used in order to mitigate mattress deflection during CPR on soft mattresses. 相似文献15.

Background
Prompt emergency medical service (EMS) system activation with rapid delivery of pre-hospital treatment is essential for patients suffering out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). The two most commonly used dispatch tools are Medical Priority Dispatch (MPD) and Criteria Based Dispatch (CBD). We compared cardiac arrest call processing using these two dispatch tools in two different dispatch centres.Methods
Observational study of adult EMS confirmed (non-EMS witnessed) OHCA calls during one year in Richmond, USA (MPD) and Oslo, Norway (CBD). Patients receiving CPR prior to call, interrupted calls or calls where the caller did not have access to the patients were excluded from analysis. Dispatch logs, ambulance records and digitalized dispatcher and caller voice recordings were compared.Results
The MPDS-site processed 182 cardiac arrest calls and the CBD-site 232, of which 100 and 140 calls met the inclusion criteria, respectively. The recognition of cardiac arrest was not different in the MPD and CBD systems; 82% vs. 77% (p = 0.42), and pre-EMS arrival CPR instructions were offered to 81% vs. 74% (p = 0.22) of callers, respectively. Time to ambulance dispatch was median (95% confidence interval) 15 (13, 17) vs. 33 (29, 36) seconds (p < 0.001) and time to chest compression delivery; 4.3 (3.7, 4.9) vs. 3.7 (3.0, 4.1) min for the MPD and CBD systems, respectively (p = 0.05).Conclusion
Pre-arrival CPR instructions were offered faster and more frequently in the CBD system, but in both systems chest compressions were delayed 3–4 min. Earlier recognition of cardiac arrest and improved CPR instructions may facilitate earlier lay rescuer CPR. 相似文献16.

Background
Multiple factors may contribute to the observed survival variability following in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). While in-hospital CPR is most often performed on patients lying on a bed or stretcher, CPR training uses primarily manikins placed on the floor. We analyzed the quality of external chest compressions (ECC) in simulated cardiac arrest scenarios occurring both on a stretcher and on the floor.Methods
Prospective cross-over simulation study enrolling ED nurses and nurse's aides as part of an annual evaluation. Simulated CPR was performed in the 2 rescuer-mode for 2 min, both kneeling on the floor, and standing beside a knee high stretcher. The order of position was randomized. ECC parameters were compared.Results
ED nurses (n = 48) and nurse's aides (n = 26) performed 128 scenarios. Mean ECC depth was 32 ± 13 mm on the floor and 27 ± 11 mm on a stretcher (?: 5 mm, 95%CI [3-7], P < .001). Participants last trained within a year (n = 17) developed deeper ECCs than their colleagues (n = 47) in both positions (floor: 39 ± 12 mm vs stretcher: 34 ± 11 mm (p = 0.016) for those trained within the year, and floor: 29 ± 12 mm vs stretcher: 24 ± 10 mm (P < .001) for those trained over a year ago).Conclusions
The quality of chest compressions performed by ED staff was below 2005 guideline standards, with decreased ECC depth during CPR on a stretcher. Annual refresher courses should be implemented in the ED, with a focus on obtaining required ECC depth while standing next to a stretcher. 相似文献17.
Objective
Telephone-CPR (T-CPR) can increase initiation of bystander CPR. We wanted to study if quality oriented continuous T-CPR would improve CPR performance vs. standard T-CPR.Method
Ninety-five trained rescuers aged 22–69 were randomized to standard T-CPR or experimental continuous T-CPR (comprises continuous instructions, questions and encouragement). They were instructed to perform 10 min of chest compressions-only on a manikin, which recorded CPR performance in a small, confined kitchen. Three video-cameras captured algorithm time data, CPR technique and communication. Demography and training experience were captured during debriefing.Results
Participants receiving continuous T-CPR delivered significantly more chest compressions (median 1000 vs. 870 compressions, p = 0.014) and compressed more frequently to a compression rate between 90 and 120 min−1 (median 87% vs. 60% of compressions, p < 0.001), compared to those receiving standard T-CPR. This also resulted in less time without compressions after CPR had started (median 12 s vs. 64 s, p < 0.001), but longer time interval from initiating contact with dispatcher to first chest compression (median 144 s vs. 84 s, p < 0.001). There was no difference in chest compression depth (mean 47 mm vs. 48 mm, p = 0.90) or in demography, education and previous CPR training between the groups.Conclusion
In our simulated scenario with CPR trained lay rescuers, experimental continuous T-CPR gave better chest compression rate and less hands-off time during CPR, but resulted in delayed time to first chest compression compared to standard T-CPR instructions. 相似文献18.

Context
Automated verbal and visual feedback improves quality of resuscitation in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and was proven to increase short-term survival. Quality of resuscitation may be hampered in more difficult situations like emergency transportation. Currently there is no evidence if feedback devices can improve resuscitation quality during different modes of transportation.Objective
To assess the effect of real time automated feedback on the quality of resuscitation in an emergency transportation setting.Design
Randomised cross-over trial.Setting
Medical University of Vienna, Vienna Municipal Ambulance Service and Helicopter Emergency Medical Service Unit (Christophorus Flugrettungsverein) in September 2007.Participants
European Resuscitation Council (ERC) certified health care professionals performing CPR in a flying helicopter and in a moving ambulance vehicle on a manikin with human-like chest properties.Interventions
CPR sessions, with real time automated feedback as the intervention and standard CPR without feedback as control.Main outcome measures
Quality of chest compression during resuscitation.Results
Feedback resulted in less deviation from ideal compression rate 100 min−1 (9 ± 9 min−1, p < 0.0001) with this effect becoming steadily larger over time. Applied work was less in the feedback group compared to controls (373 ± 448 cm × compression; p < 0.001). Feedback did not influence ideal compression depth significantly. There was some indication of a learning effect of the feedback device.Conclusions
Real time automated feedback improves certain aspects of CPR quality in flying helicopters and moving ambulance vehicles. The effect of feedback guidance was most pronounced for chest compression rate. 相似文献19.
Background
Mattress compression causes feedback devices to over-estimate the chest compression depth measurement during CPR. We propose a novel method to decrease the mattress compression using a vinyl cover. This mattress compression cover encloses the foam mattress and is compressed by a vacuum pump immediately prior to performing CPR.Methods
Nine CPR providers performed chest compressions on manikins placed on a conventional foam mattress on a bed frame (surface CONV), a backboard and foam mattress on a bed frame (surface BB), and a foam mattress, compressed with a vacuum pump, on a bed frame (surface VAC). Dual accelerometers were used to simultaneously measure the mattress compression and chest compression depths.Results
The mattress compression depth levels decreased from 14.9 mm (SD 1.4 mm) on surface CONV to 7.0 mm (SD 0.6 mm) on surface VAC (p < 0.001) whereas 14.0 mm (SD 1.3 mm) on surface BB. The total compression depth was 65.4 mm (SD 3.8 mm) on surface CONV, and 58.3 mm (SD 3.0 mm) on surface VAC (p < 0.001).Conclusion
Using a mattress compression cover and a vacuum pump appears to increase the rigidity of the mattress and allow for efficient chest compressions. This novel method could decrease the mattress compression depth and increase the efficiency of chest compression during CPR in hospitals. 相似文献20.
