ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze the factors related to the duration of chest compression pause time during the manual-mechanical conversion process in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CRP).Methods:A retrospective study was devised in a cohort comprising patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, who were assigned to receive mechanical CRP in the Department of Emergency of Huzhou First People's Hospital from January 2019 to December 2020. Patient’s general characteristics, CRP data and data on CRP-free intervals were collected multiple linear regression to analyze associations with the duration of chest compression pause time during the manual-mechanical conversion process in CRP. At the same time, the effect of CPR treatment qualification of nurses on CPR compression quality was evaluated.Results:The study selected 32 eligible patients. Patient's height, actual body weight, and body mass index showed a positive liner correlation with the duration of chest compression pause time ( r=0.61, 0.92, 0.49; P<0.01). Multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that actual body weight was an independent risk factor for prolonged duration of chest compression pause time ( P<0.01). Moreover, responsible nurses with advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) certification had significantly higher compression scores than those without ACLS certification (χ 2=0.002, P<0.01). Conclusions:The actual body weight of patients and the ACLS qualification of nurses on duty have a certain relationship with the duration of chest compression pause time during the manual-mechanical conversion process in CRP, which is worthy of further research.
