Abstract

Setting: European and Advanced Paediatric Life Support training courses. Participants: Sixty-nine certified CPR providers. Interventions: CPR providers were randomly allocated to a ‘no-feedback’ or ‘feedback’ group, performing two-thumb and two-finger chest compressions on a “physiological”, instrumented resuscitation manikin. Baseline data was recorded without feedback, before chest compressions were repeated with one group receiving feedback. Main outcome measures: Indices were calculated that defined chest compression quality, based upon comparison of the chest wall displacement to the targets of four, internationally recommended parameters: chest compression depth, release force, chest compression rate and compression duty cycle. Results: Baseline data were consistent with other studies, with <1% of chest compressions performed by providers simultaneously achieving the target of the four internationally recommended parameters. During the ‘experimental’ phase, 34 CPR providers benefitted from the provision of ‘real-time’ feedback which, on analysis, coincided with a statistical improvement in compression rate, depth and duty cycle quality across both compression techniques (all measures: p < 0.001). Feedback enabled providers to simultaneously achieve the four targets in 75% (two-finger) and 80% (two-thumb) of chest compressions. Conclusions: Real-time feedback produced a dramatic increase in the quality of chest compression (i.e. from <1% to 75–80%). If these results transfer to a clinical scenario this technology could, for the first time, support providers in consistently performing accurate chest compressions during infant CPR and thus potentially improving clinical outcomes.
