A simplified chest compressions only CPR (CC-CPR) protocol reduced time to start compressions and hands-off time compared to the MPDS v11.2 protocol. This simplified approach improved CPR quality, except for hand positioning, potentially enhancing survival from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

Area of Science:

  • Emergency Medicine
  • Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Chest compressions only CPR (CC-CPR) is widely adopted for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
  • Increasing compression time during CPR may improve survival rates.
  • Existing protocols, like the Medical Priority Dispatch System (MPDS) v11.2, guide dispatcher-assisted CPR.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a simplified CC-CPR protocol.
  • To reduce the time to initiate chest compressions.
  • To increase the proportion of time spent delivering effective chest compressions.

Main Methods:

  • A randomized controlled trial comparing a simplified CC-CPR protocol against the MPDS v11.2 protocol.
  • Data collected using a Laerdal Resusci Anne Skillreporter manikin with simulated dispatcher instructions.

  • Key outcomes measured: compression rate, depth, hand position, full release, error-free compressions, time to CPR start, and hands-off chest time.

    • Main Results:

    • The simplified protocol significantly reduced time to start chest compressions (60.9s vs. 78.6s) and total hands-off chest time (69s vs. 95s).
    • A higher proportion of compressions were delivered to the correct depth in the simplified protocol (0.31 vs. 0.03).
    • Correct hand position was achieved less frequently with the simplified protocol (0.35 vs. 0.84).

    Conclusions:

    • The simplified CC-CPR protocol demonstrated comparable or superior performance to MPDS v11.2 in most aspects, notably achieving significant time savings.
    • While effective in reducing delays and improving compression depth, the protocol requires modification to ensure correct hand positioning.
    • The time savings and improved CPR quality from the simplified protocol could be crucial for enhancing the cardiac chain of survival.
