Comparison between modified and conventional one‐handed chest compression techniques for child cardiopulmonary resuscitation: A randomised, non‐blind, cross‐over simulation trial

Abstract

Chest compression depth (CCD) decreases significantly when performing one‐handed chest compression (OHCC). We modified OHCC posture to increase CCD as follows: first, the axis of the compression hand was adjusted to the compression area; second, the opposite hand was wrapped around the elbow of the compression arm. This study compared modified OHCC with conventional OHCC for child cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
