Influence of Core Muscles Activation Using Physical Fitness on the Performance of Chest Compression

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Heart Arrest
Registration Number
NCT02780050
Lead Sponsor
Hallym University Kangnam Sacred Heart Hospital
Brief Summary

Chest compression, a key component of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), has a major role for survival of cardiac arrest patients. According to 2015 American heart association (AHA) guideline, rescuers provide high quality CPR to adult cardiac arrest patients including 5 to 6 cm depth and 100 to 120 beat per minute rate chest compression.

However, in CPR situation, chest compression depth and rate vary according to provider's muscle strength. In other words, the individual difference of the degree of physical activity will make the different result for CPR. So, the investigators hypothesize that the core muscles activation using physical fitness improves the quality of chest compression and the quality of CPR, eventually.
