Two minutes CPR versus five cycles CPR prior to reanalysis of the cardiac rhythm: A prospective, randomized simulator-based trial

摘要

Aim of the study: While the 2005 cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) guidelines recommended to provide CPR for five cycles before the next cardiac rhythm check, the current 2010 guideline now recommend to provide CPR for 2 min. Our aim was to compare adherence to both targets in a simulator-based randomized trial.
