Comparison of Bystander Fatigue and CPR Quality When Using the New 30:2 Versus the Old 15:2 Chest Compression to Ventilation International Guidelines: A Randomised Crossover Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating bystander CPR using 30:2 ratio vs 15:2 ratio for Cardiac Arrest. Completed, enrolled 42 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
STUDY OBJECTIVES The overall goal of this study is to compare bystander fatigue and CPR quality after 5 minutes of the new 30:2 versus the old 15:2 chest compression to ventilation International Resuscitation Guidelines, in a population aged 55 or greater. More specifically, we will compare each CPR ratio with regard to: 1. The achieved frequency and depth of chest compressions, 2. Participant rating of their perceived level of exertion, and 3. Resulting serum lactate levels in a subset of the participants. STUDY HYPOTHESIS In a population aged 55 or greater, the new 30:2 CPR ratio will lead to: 1. less frequent and shallower chest compressions over the 5-minute study period; 2. higher rating of perceived level of exertion; and 3. higher serum lactate levels in a subset of participants when compared to the old 15:2 CPR ratio.
