AB  - OBJECTIVE: Whether the use of metronome affects the quality of cardiopulmonary 
      resuscitation (CPR) remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the effect of 
      metronome use on CPR quality. METHODS: This was a prospective, simulation-based 
      CPR manikin study. There were two phases: without and with metronome use. Chest 
      compression was performed for 2 min, and three CPR quality criteria including 
      chest compression depth, recoil, and rate were recorded with TrueCPR Feedback 
      Device in both phases. RESULTS: In all, 102 resident physicians were included. 
      The achievement of optimal chest compression depth and complete recoil was better 
      with metronome use than without (83% and 77% vs. 78% and 39%, P </= 0.001, 
      respectively). Optimal chest compression rate was also reached with metronome use 
      because the range of the compression rate was closer to the normal limits than 
      those without metronome use (110 [interquartile range (IQR) 109-113] vs. 120 [IQR 
      109-129], P </= 0.001). Of all the participants, 70.6% stated that metronome use 
      had a positive effect on their performance during the CPR application and 66.7% 
      stated that they wished to use the metronome in their daily practice. CONCLUSION: 
      Using a metronome during simulation-based CPR improved the compression depth and 
      recoil by fixing chest compression rate. We suggested that metronome should be 
      used in CPR trainings of health-care professionals.
