Caregiver Characteristics Associated With Quality of Cardiac Compressions on an Adult Mannequin With Real-Time Visual Feedback: A Simulation-Based Multicenter Study

Conclusions Anthropometrics impact provider CC quality. Despite visual feedback, variable effects are seen on compression depth, rate, recoil, and fatigue depending on the provider sex, weight, and BMI. The 2-minute interval for changing chest compressors should be reconsidered based on individual provider characteristics and risk of fatigue's impact on high-quality CPR.
