Abstract
Purpose: According to the 2015 European Resuscitation Council guidelines, the quality of external chest compressions (CCs) is a key element improving the outcome in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). However, as indicated in many studies, the performance of CPR is highly variable [ 1 Kurowski A. Szarpak Ł. Bogdański Ł. Zaśko P. Czyżewski Ł. Comparison of the effectiveness of cardiopulmonary resuscitation with standard manual chest compressions and the use of TrueCPR and PocketCPR feedback devices.

Our aim was to examine if CCs were more effective with the use of newly developed mechanical CC device, Lifeline ARM (ARM) as compared with standard manual CCs.
