We aimed to compare rescuer fatigue and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) quality between standard 30:2 CPR (ST-CPR) chest compression only (CO-CPR) performed for 8 minutes on a realistic manikin by following the 2010 guidelines. All 36 volunteers (laypersons; 18 men women) were randomized ST-CPR or CO-CPR at first, then each technique was with 3-hour rest interval. measured mean blood pressure (MBP) of before after performing technique, continuously monitored heart rate (HR) during using MRx monitor. measures included depth (CC) number adequate CCs per minute. The CC significantly differed 2 groups minutes, it being higher in group than group. Additionally, male (p =0.012). 3 =0.001). change MBP did not differ groups. However, HR =0.007). lower 6 respectively, performer CPR.
