5.7 CPR Feedback
5.7.1 Information on CPR Feedback
If a corPatch CPR sensor is used, the rate and depth of a thorax compression
can be measured by the corpuls
3
. During resuscitation, the users are provided
important information on the quality of the current thorax compressions, so that
they can react immediately and take corresponding measures.
Among the information are the display of the current rate as well as the curve
progression of the current thorax compressions. Speech- and text messages
signal to the user whether the quality of the thorax compressions is sufficient or
can to be optimised.
For this, two different speech- and text messages are available:
• "Push harder"
• "Good compressions"
The speech- and text message "Push harder" is played, if the
recommended depth of the thorax compressions has not been reached. It is
repeated at an interval of 7 seconds until the recommended depth of the thorax
compressions has been reached or exceeded and the speech- and text
message "Good compressions" is played.
Speech- and text messages will not be played, if
• the resuscitation is finished,
• the metronome is in ventilation phase
• and during the ECG analysis in AED mode.
Two different compression depths are available for the mission:
• 3.5 cm to 4.5 cm (Child)
• 5.0 cm to 6.0 cm (Adult)
The configurations of the CPR feedback system are set according to current
scientific recommendations of international associations for resuscitation (e. g.
European Resuscitation Council (ERC, see www.erc.edu)).
The CPR Feedback system is available in AED and manual defibrillation mode
as well as in monitoring mode (configurable).
The use of CPR feedback is not recommended for patients of less than 8 years
of age.
