Impact of Application of Multifunction Electrode (MFE) Pads on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Quality

Table 1

Selected parameters of chest compression in both groups.

CC parameters	Group MFE (n = 100)	Group C (n = 100)	value
CC rate (minute)	121 ± 9	122 ± 8	0.691
Correct CC rate (%)	36 (16; 59)	33 (12; 47)	0.064
CC depth (mm)	55 ± 5	52 ± 4	<0.001^#
Correct CC depth (%)	53 (45; 60)	45 (32; 55)	<0.001^#
Correct chest recoil (%)	32 (22; 48)	19 (9; 38)	0.001^#
Correct hands position (%)	100 (99; 100)	100 (98; 100)	0.372
CCF (%)	77.0 ± 6.5	73.1 ± 7.1	<0.001^#
No-flow time (sec)	6.0 ± 1.1	7.3 ± 1.1	<0.001^#

Continuous variables are expressed as means with standard deviations (with normal distribution) or medians (25th; 75th percentile). ^#Statistically significant differences between studied groups (). C = control; CC = chest compression; CCF = chest compression fraction; MFE = multifunction electrode.
