Characterize release and recoil dynamics in chest compressions during prolonged cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) efforts, which are increasingly prevalent. ⋯ Depth waveforms change markedly less than do force waveforms over the course of prolonged CPR. With the benefit of feedback, CPR providers effectively adjust the application of force to compensate for changes in chest stiffness, documented previously. Despite slowing release and quickening recoil, interference between release of force and recoil of depth appears limited. Spontaneous chest recoil is well preserved in prolonged duration manual CPR.
