Rescuer's position and adequate chest compression during CPR provided to patients on bed

What is it about?

Even though the standing position is fundamental for CPR in cases of IHCA, there are two available options which were for a rescuer to perform CPR in the positions kneeling on a bed or standing on a footstool. We assessed the depth of chest compression during CPRs performing in these three positions.

Why is it important?

This is a randomized, controlled crossover mannequin study. This study shows that performing CPR in position kneeling on a bed or standing on a footstool had a better effect on chest compression, whatever it meant its mean depth or adequate number, rather than just performing CPR in standing position.
