Comparison between Quality of Chest Compression by Foot and Hand in Middle School Children: A Randomized, Crossover Manikin Study

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Manikin study
Chest compression by foot in middle school children
CPR
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation
Chest compression by foot
Chest compression by hand
School-aged children
Registration Number
TCTR20230724005
Lead Sponsor
Thai redcross society
Brief Summary

The compression rate by hand exceeded by foot (11.3 bpm, P-value less than 0.001), while the percentage of full chest recoil by hand surpassed that during foot compressions (26.2%, P-value less than 0.001). Conversely, compression depth by foot was greater than by hand (-14.7 mm, P-value less than 0.001). It shows no correlation between the participant's body weight of both groups and the effectiveness of chest compression in terms of compression rate, compression depth and percentage of full chest recoil.
