Maintaining a Chest Compression Fraction (CCF) Above 80%
Listen now
Description
Even good CPR is far less efficient at circulating blood than a functioning heart.
The indicators of high-quality CPR that were identified at the 2012 AHA CPR Quality Summit in order of importance include:
Chest compression fraction (CCF);Chest compression rate; Chest compression depth; Allowing for full recoil; andAdequate ventilations.
Using real-time feedback devices and ETCO2 to assess CPR quality.
Three tips to limit pauses in CPR compressions to 10 seconds or less.
Limiting interruptions to chest compressions to less than 10 seconds so we can maintain a CCF of 80% requires teamwork and communication.
