What gaps in chest compressions tell us about gaps in CPR knowledge

Defining high quality CPR in quantitative terms, as well as determining the impact of high quality CPR on cardiac arrest outcomes, have proven to be daunting challenges over the past 15 years since the introduction of CPR-sensing technologies. 1,2 Use of these tools has allowed for the measurement of various CPR delivery metrics, including chest compression fraction (CCF).3 CCF is defined as the proportion of time performing chest compressions during a resuscitation episode while a patient is pulseless.
