CPR compression strategy 30:2 is difficult to adhere to, but has better survival than continuous chest compressions when done correctly.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A large, randomized trial showed no significant difference in survival to discharge between cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) strategies of 30 compressions with pause for 2 ventilations per cycle (30:2) and continuous chest compression with asynchronous ventilations (CCC). Data from the same trial suggested that adherence to the intended CPR strategy was associated with significantly greater survival. We sought to determine the adherence rate with intended strategy and then explore the association of adherence with survival to discharge in the Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium (ROC).

Methods

This secondary analysis of data from the ROC included three interventional trials and a prospective registry. We modified an automated software algorithm that classified car
