The optimal surface for delivery of CPR: An updated systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

To determine the effect of CPR delivery surface (e.g. firm mattress, floor, backboard) on patient outcomes and CPR delivery.

Methods

We searched MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials for studies published since 2019 that evaluated the effect of CPR delivery surface in adults and children on patient outcomes and CPR depth (PROSPERO CRD42023467583). We included manikin studies due to a lack of human studies. We identified pre-2019 studies from the 2020 ILCOR evaluation of this topic. Two reviewers independently screened titles/abstracts and full-text papers, extracted data and assessed risk of bias. Evidence certainty for each outcome was evaluated using GRADE methodology. Where appropriate, we pooled data in a meta-analysis
