Quality of Chest Compressions During CPR-comparison Between Manual and Automatic Review

Purpose: Feedback devices to improve quality of cardiac pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and software for review of resuscitation attempts are now available. This enables evaluating chest compression quality in clinical events. However, calculations involve periods where CPR is not performed, thereby affecting the compression quality results. In this report, accuracy of automatically performed calculations, by the review software, and manual calculations were compared.
