Simulation study of a two-person chest compression method (PALm-PALm method) for effective chest compressions in cardiac arrest patients on a stretcher.

Basic Information

Recruitment status Recruiting
Health condition(s) or Problem(s) studiedCardiopulmonary arrest
Date of first enrollment02/08/2024
Target sample size20
Countries of recruitment
Study typeInterventional
Intervention(s)This is a single-center, two-arm crossover study involving healthcare professionals and medical students who have completed the basic life support course. To control for height differences, participants will be divided into two groups based on height (less than 171 cm and 171 cm and more), with 10 participants in each group matched for similar height. Each participant will perform chest compressions using two methods: Alone method (2-minute chest compressions by one person) and PALm-PALm method (chest compressions by two people with their hands stacked on top of each other). An interval of 1 hour will be allowed before and after each set of chest compressions to facilitate recovery from fatigue.

Outcome(s)

Primary OutcomeDifferences in heart rate changes between the PALm-PALm method and the ALONE method
Secondary Outcome(1) Comparison of blood pressure change, oxygen saturation change, respiratory rate change, modified Borg scale after completion of chest compressions, and compression depth in all study subjects (2) Relationship between height, weight, BMI, and upper/ lower limb length, and the primary endpoints. (3) Comparison of the above between groups divided by height.
