Randomized Controlled TrialTwo-Thumb Encircling Technique With a Novel Compression Assist Device Provides Safe and Effective Chest Compressions in Infants.
Currently, 2-thumb encircling technique is recommended in 2-rescuer infant cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). However, many complications can occur during CPR. Therefore, we developed a novel compression assist device (Reheart) that can reduce chest compression area and determined whether using our device provides better compression quality. ⋯ Our new compression assist device can help provide safe and effective chest compressions during 2-rescuer infant CPR.
