CPR Rescuer Fatigue on Chest Compression Effectiveness
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Rescuer Fatigue During CPR
In brief
This prospective, randomized experimental trial to determine whether the quality of healthcare provider/rescuer chest compressions (CC) deteriorates at the same rate in pediatric models as compared to adult models. To determine the relationship between physiologic/metabolic markers of work in rescuers and chest compression deterioration, and to determine the effect of stepstool use on the quality of chest compressions and metabolic demand. To determine whether the quality of chest compressions deteriorates at the same rate in participants using a stepstool compared to those not using a stepstool.
