Effect of Instituting Upper Limits for Chest Compression Depth for Laypersons at Six-months After Chest Compression-Only Training: A Randomized Controlled Simulation Study

“…Although not significant, the number of compressions with the recommended depth (49–59 mm) was higher in the limited group.Importance: These results suggest that simplified instructions that do not mention the upper limit ofcompression depth may help people perform deeper chest compressions; however, there are concerns about the risks associated with too deep compressions. Considering the situation of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in Japan, studies focusing on compression depths in another aged people should be considered.…”
