Clinical Trial: Does Increasing the Compression Pause from 3 to 5 Seconds in Mechanical Compression Devices Increase Ventilation Success Rate and Return of Spontaneous Circulation?

U.S., Feb. 14 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06824961) titled 'Does Increasing the Compression Pause from 3 to 5 Seconds in Mechanical Compression Devices Increase Ventilation Success Rate and Return of Spontaneous Circulation?' on Jan. 21.

Brief Summary: To give chest compressions during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), mechanical chest compression devices can be used. During synchronous 30:2 CPR, the standard setting on these devices leave an automated 3-second chest compression pause after 30 compressions to facilitate caregivers in providing two ventilations. With this standard setting, research has shown that in less than half of ventilation pauses during CPR, those two ventilations ar...
