摘要：

University School of Medicine has demonstrated impairment of chest compression efficacy in the setting of an airborne 80-105 helicopter. This study was undertaken to determine whether in-flight compression efficacy could be improved with utilization of a pressure-sensing monitor providing real-time feedback during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Ten flight nurses each performed two minutes of in-flight chest compressions on a mannequin that electronically assessed compression depth and hand placement. The session was then repeated using the pressure-sensing device., The mean proportion of correct compressions (95.7 +/- 3.2%) achieved with utilization of the pressure-sensing monitor was significantly higher (P <.01) than the corresponding proportion for the control group (33.4 +/- 12.1%). This study demonstrated that the difficulties of performing effective in-flight chest compressions are largely overcome with utilization of a pressure-sensing device providing real-time feedback on compression efficacy.
