Abstract

To analyze the compression depth, compression rate and the trend of the release rate (thorax relief) of mechanical chest compression devices, we use a Zoll X series monitor with feed-back defibrillation electrodes and the Case Review evaluation software as well as a Laerdal Mini Anne resuscitation manikin. The Lucas 1, Lucas 2, Au-topulse and Corpuls CPR devices were used for testing.
