Area of Science:

  • Emergency medicine
  • Prehospital care
  • Cardiopulmonary resuscitation

Background:

  • Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a critical intervention for cardiac arrest patients.
  • Performing CPR during patient transport presents unique challenges and risks.
  • Optimizing CPR delivery in the prehospital setting is essential for patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To comprehensively evaluate the safety and feasibility of performing CPR during prehospital transport.
  • To compare the impact of various factors on CPR delivery during transport.

Main Methods:

  • Comparative analysis of different CPR techniques.
  • Assessment of environmental factors including road conditions, speed, and vehicle type.
  • Evaluation of provider safety and CPR quality metrics.
