Abstract
It is currently recommended that chest compressions be provided with the heel of one hand in paediatric CPR [children aged 1-8 years]. This recommendation was arrived at by consensus and seems to be based on the assumptions that less force is required to compress the paediatric thorax and that there would be less risk of excessive force, and thus injury, with this technique. It has recently been shown that two-handed compressions produce higher mean and peak compression pressures when compared to one-handed compressions and that 29/30 participants found the two-handed technique easier to perform. The aims of this study were to determine emergency department [ED] nursing and medical staff preference for one- or two-handed paediatric chest compressions; and to determine if there was a difference in compression rates delivered and fatigability between the techniques.
