Background Efficiently performed basic life support (BLS) after cardiac arrest is proven to be
effective. However, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is strenuous and rescuers' …

Background Despite its prevalence, survival from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest remains low.
High quality CPR has been associated with improved survival in cardiac arrest patients. In …

Background Resuscitation guidelines encourage the use of cardiopulmonary resuscitation
(CPR) feedback devices implying better outcomes after sudden cardiac arrest. Whether …

Feedback devices were developed to guide resuscitations as targets recommended by
various guidelines are difficult to achieve. Yet, there is limited evidence to support their use …

Background Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is a leading cause of mortality and serious
neurological morbidity in Europe. We aim to investigate the effect of 3 cardiopulmonary …

AIM: Feedback during CPR may facilitate quality in chest compressions, but has also been
associated with caregiver complaints such as stiff wrists, the need for more force and …

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 …

Background Previous studies have demonstrated significant associations between
cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) quality metrics and survival to hospital discharge. No …

Aim We studied resuscitation process metrics in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
enrolled in a randomized trial comparing one protocol designed to best use a mechanical …

Introduction The present study evaluated the performance and acceptance of a
cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) feedback application for the iPhone (“PocketCPR®”) …
