Abstract
Purpose : The purpose of the study is to evaluate the distance and location of the rescuer to patient for the effective chest compressions qualities. Methods : The subjects were 42 students who earned the basic lifesaving technique and had informed consents to participate in the study from May 1 to 20 in 2013. The position of the rescuers included model-0(reference point), model-1(10cm distance), model-2(20cm distance), and model-kn(kneeling up).Results : The mean depth of compression was 50.6±6.6mm in Model-0, 48.7 ±8.2mm in Model-1, 44.2±10.4mm in Model-2, and 51.8±6.0mm in Model-kn. There were statistically significant diffe- rences between each Model(p<.001). 투고일 : 2014년 2월 21일 심사완료일 : 2014년 4월 3일 게재확정일 : 2014년 4월 21일*Corresponding Author : So-Yeon RyuDepartment of Preventive Medicine, College of Medicine, Chosun University, 303, Pilmun-daero, Dong-gu, Gwangju, 501-759, Republic of KoreaTel: +82-62-230-6483 Fax: +82-62-225-8293 E-mail: canrsy@ch osun.ac.kr
