Accurate measurement of chest compression depth using impulse-radio ultra-wideband sensor on a mattress.

We developed a new chest compression depth (CCD) measuring technology using radar and impulse-radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) sensor. This study was performed to determine its accuracy on a soft surface.Four trials, trial 1: chest compressions on the floor using an accelerometer device; trial 2: chest...
