Clinical Study

A New Method for Feedback on the Quality of Chest Compressions during Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

Table 1

Median values (5/95 percentile in parenthesis) of the mean rate and depth per record for the regular and tilt sessions with  s. The Mann-Whitney test was used to compare the values obtained from the gold standard (CD signal) and the acceleration (accel. signal). No significant difference was observed for any of the CPR target conditions.
