ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
The survival benefit to patients of high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is well-documented. In the 2005 resuscitation guidelines, the quality of CPR was emphasized and the monitoring of CPR quality variables broadly recommended. However, little objective data exist regarding the effect of a monitoring and feedback system on CPR quality variables during resuscitation.METHODS:
Forty-nine volunteers among hospital nurses and doctors were randomly assigned to two groups and asked to perform five minutes of continuous chest compression on a manikin either with or without a real time audiovisual feedback system. The quality variables of chest compression including compression rate, compression depth, the proportion of adequate compression depth, and the proportion of complete recoil were recorded.RESULTS:
Data from 25 chest compression episodes in the control group were compared to 24 episodes in the feedback group. There was a improvement in the mean compression rate in the feedback group with a statistically significant narrowing of distribution (107.4+/-19.3 to 102.9+/-5.7 /min; test of means, p=0.071; test of variance, p<0.001). There were statistically significant improvements in the mean values of other quality variables in the feedback group including compression depth (from 39.7+/-5.9 to 42.3+/-2.8 mm; test of means, p=0.039; test of variance, p=0.026), the proportion of adequate compression depth (from 65.8+/-33.5% to 86.9+/-16.2%; test of means, p=0.011; test of variance, p<0.001), and the proportion of incomplete recoil (44.6+/-34.9% to 16.3+/-19.2%; test of means, p=0.014; test of variance, p=0.005).CONCLUSION:
In this study, we confirmed that a real time audiovisual feedback system significantly improve the quality of chest compression during resuscitation.
