Background: The ability to perform high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation is one of the basic skills for lifeguards. The aim of the study was to assess the influence of chest compression frequency on the quality of the parameters of chest compressions performed by lifeguards. Methods: This prospective observational, randomized, crossover simulation study was performed with 40 lifeguards working in Warsaw, Wroclaw, and Poznan, Poland. The subjects then participated in a target study, in which they were asked to perform 2-min cycles of metronome-guided chest compres

“…[1,31] Many studies have highlighted that the basic CPR parameters are suboptimal in both laypersons and medical personnel; these include the rate and depth of chest compressions, full chest relaxation, and hand position during chest compressions. [7]…”

“…[5] One of the major CPR problem is not letting the chest recoil, which can lower the effectiveness of resuscitation, by reducing the venous return and decreasing the overall cardiac output. [6,7] Any interruptions in chest compressions, including hands-off time, decrease the quality of chest compressions. [5,8]…”

Background: International resuscitation guidelines emphasize the importance of high quality chest compressions, including correct chest compression depth and rate and complete chest recoil. The aim of the study was to assess the role of the TrueCPR device in the process of teaching cardiopulmonary resuscitation in nursing students. Methods: A prospective randomized experimental study was performed among 94 first year students of nursing. On the next day, the participants were divided into 2 groups—the control group practiced chest compressions without the use of any device for half an hour, and the experimental group practiced with the use of TrueCPR. Further measurement of chest compressions was performed after a month. Results: The chest compression rate achieved the value of 113 versus 126 ( P < .001), adequate chest compression rate (%) was 86 versus 68 ( P < .001), full chest release (%) 92 versus 69 ( P = .001), and correct hand placement (%) 99 versus 99 ( P , not significant) in TrueCPR and standard BLS groups, respectively. As for the assessment of the confidence of chest compression quality, 1 month after the training, the evaluation in the experimental group was statistically significantly higher (91 vs 71; P < .001) than in the control group. Conclusions: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation training with the use of the TrueCPR device is associated with better resuscitation skills 1 month after the training. The participants using TrueCPR during the training achieved a better chest compression rate and depth with in international recommendations and better full chest release percentage and self-assessed confidence of chest compression quality comparing with standard cardiopulmonary resuscitation training.

“…The effectiveness of defibrillation is affected by many elements, including the quality of chest compression, electrical current flow through the chest, and exclusion of potentially reversible causes of sudden cardiac arres, [26][27][28][29] and the use of antiarrhythmic drugs including amiodarone and lidocaine in shockable rhythms. 30 However, the choice of the drug used for shockable rhythms in sudden cardiac arrest may affect the survival of patients, the duration of the resuscitation, and thus, the neurological prognosis and quality of life.…”
