Thirteen year olds can perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) as well as adults, finds a new study. The authors suggest that children as young as nine years old should be taught CPR skills ...

The depth of chest compressions and the rate at which they were applied make a significant impact on survival and recovery of patients, a review of research by UT Southwestern Medical Center Emergency ...

Individuals who were trained with a 60-second hands-only CPR training video had significantly higher rates of average compression and compression depth vs. a control group that did not view the video.

Editor’s note: This article is part of a special supplement, “EMS State of the Science: Important advances in prehospital cardiac care and resuscitation,” published in our sister publication JEMS. To ...

Many TV depictions of CPR for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest not only made errors in correct technique but may skew public ...

The median compression depth of the standard mechanical piston device was 53.0mm, which was considerably more than the other two automatic chest compression devices, which both had median depths of ...

New research has identified the optimal combination of chest compression rate (CCR) and chest compression depth (CCD) when performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to improve survival rates. A ...

Until now, not much research had been done to find the best CPR methods from data that accounted for both compression rate and chest depth. Now, new data gives some exciting new answers. Sep 25, 2019 ...

Thirteen year olds can perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) as well as adults, finds a study published on bmj.com today. The authors suggest that children as young as nine years old should be ...
