PG - e15118 LID - 10.1111/ped.15118 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Current cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) guidelines recommend the two-finger technique (TFT) of chest compression (CC) in infants for a single rescuer. We hypothesized that healthcare providers cannot achieve adequate CC depth with TFT, even if using real-time visual feedback (RVF). METHODS: This was a cross-over study, randomizing participants to perform three sets of 2-min continuous CC, comparing (i) TFT with RVF, (ii) the one-hand technique (OHT) without RVF, and (iii) OHT with RVF. A standard CPR trainer manikin of a 3-month-old infant and a monitor/defibrillator that displays and records the quantitative CC quality were used. We set a target compression depth of 40-50 mm and a target compression rate of 100-120/min. Data were analyzed using the Friedman test and Bonferroni correction. Statistical significance was defined as P-value of< 0.05. RESULTS: Fifty-nine healthcare providers participated in the study. The mean compression depth was 24 mm (interquartile range [IQR], 22-26 mm) in TFT with RVF and 43 mm (IQR, 38-48 mm) in OHT without RVF, P < 0.001. The proportion of adequate CC depth was 0% (IQR, 0-0%) in TFT with RVF, 22% (IQR, 5-54%) in OHT without RVF, and 62% (IQR, 29-83%) in OHT with RVF. The mean compression rate was within the target range in all three techniques. CONCLUSIONS: The TFT cannot produce the CC depth that meets the recommendation of the current CPR guidelines for an infant with RVF, whereas the OHT does. CI - (c) 2021 Japan Pediatric Society.
