Mechanical chest compressionChest heightChest compression forceChest compression depthIntroduction: The LUCAS 2 device stores technical data that documents the chest compression process. We analyzed chest wall dimensions and mechanics stored during chest compressions on humans using data gathered with the ...
The internal anterior-posterior diameter (APD) at the site of chest compression represents the “available space” for the heart to be compressed between the sternum and vertebral body. If chest compressions, based on current paediatric guidelines, are too shallow or too deep (relative to the ...
The importance of chest compression rate and depth when performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) has been known for many years. Compressions that
(F), in each of three age groups: at least 9 but less than 10 years old, at least 11 but less than 12 years old, and at least 13 but less than 14 years old. These children were taught to perform chest compressions used in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). For CPR, ideal ...

Computerised-tomography images of the thorax of 55 patients with a diagnosis of obesity or morbid obesity (mean BMI 45.95 kg/m2) were evaluated to determine the depth of SAT at the level at which chest compressions would be applied by a trained rescuer, and correlated with BMI. Mean ...
The British Heart Foundation (BHF) commercials encourage viewers to forget the kiss of life, and just push hard and fast on the chest. For untrained bystanders, resuscitating adults with uninterrupted hard chest compressions is more effective than stopping to give often ineffective rescue breaths...
Since chest compressions were first introduced more than 50 years ago, there has been increasing emphasis on the importance of compression depth. Increasing depth is associated with a higher blood flow, and a compression depth of at least 5 cm is the current recommendation [1]. Whereas this is...
