Pediatric Resuscitation With Feedback CPR Devices

The aim of this study was to compare the TrueCPR feedback device (with metronome) to standard basic life support (BLS) in terms of the quality of single rescuer pediatric resuscitation. Therefore, our hypothesis was that there would be no difference between both CPR methods in terms of chest compression quality parameters.

About this study

Cardiac arrest is a leading cause of death worldwide. High-quality chest compressions are of paramount importance for survival and good neurological outcome. Unfortunately, even health professionals have difficulty performing effective CPR. Chest compression (CC) is often too shallow, compression ratio is inadequate, and hands-off time is too long. CPR feedback devices might be an option for rescuers to in order to increase CC efficiency.

Treatment and study plan

The TrueCPR feedback device

Device

feedback devices

Standard BLS

Device

Standard basic life support = chest compressions without any feedback device (manual resuscitation)

Primary outcomes

  1. Effective compressions compression with correct depth (40-50mm), correct hand position and complete decompressions

    Time frame: 1 month

    effective compressions was defined as compression with correct depth (40-50mm), correct hand position and complete decompressions

Secondary outcomes

  1. effective compressions ratio effective compressions [%] multiplied by flow time [%]

    Time frame: 1 month

    effective compressions ratio was defined as effective compressions [%] multiplied by flow time [%]

  2. Flow time sum of all periods during which chest compressions were performed.

    Time frame: 1 month

    flow time was defined as the sum of all periods during which chest compressions were performed.

  3. absolute hands-off time sum of all periods without chest compressions or ventilation

    Time frame: 1 month

    absolute hands-off time (HOT) was defined as the sum of all periods without chest compressions or ventilation

  4. Compression depth compression in correct depth (40-50mm) measured by the software is connected to the manikin and computer

    Time frame: 1 month

    compression in correct depth (40-50mm) measured by the software is connected to the manikin and computer
