Reducing the impact of intensive care unit mattress compressibility during CPR: a simulation-based study

Abstract Background The depth of chest compression (CC) during cardiac arrest is associated with patient survival and good neurological outcomes. Previous studies showed that mattress compression can alter the amount of CCs given with adequate depth. We aim to quantify the amount of mattress compres...
