| Popis: | Introduction The recommendations on cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) emphasize the quality of the manoeuvres, especially chest compressions (CC). Audiovisual feedback devices could improve the quality of the CC during CPR. The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of a simple lighting device as a visual aid during CPR on a mannequin. Material and methods Twenty-two paediatricians who attended an accredited paediatric CPR course performed, in random order, 2 min of CPR on a mannequin without and with the help of a simple lighting device, which flashes at a frequency of 100 cycles per minute. The following CC variables were analyzed using a validated compression quality meter (CPRmeter®): depth, decompression, rate, CPR time and percentage of compressions. Results With the lighting device, participants increased average quality (60.23 ± 54.50 vs. 79.24 ± 9.80%; P =.005), percentage in target depth (48.86 ± 42.67 vs. 72.95 ± 20.25%; P =.036) and rate (35.82 ± 37.54 vs. 67.09 ± 31.95%; P =.024). Conclusions A simple light device that flashes at the recommended frequency improves the quality of CC performed by paediatric residents on a mannequin. The usefulness of this CPR aid system should be assessed in real patients. |
