PDF] Description of an alternate technique for the application of chest compression during resuscitation using the foot/ heel (pedal compressions)

It is well understood that the role of compressions in resuscitation attempts is central in perfusion during resuscitation i.e. blood movement and passive ventilation due to intrathoracic pressure changes. It is well understood that the role of compressions in resuscitation attempts is central in perfusion during resuscitation i.e. blood movement and passive ventilation due to intrathoracic pressure changes. It is also understood that the prime indicator of efficacy of compression attempts is depth of compressions achieved. Whilst research has indicated that 45% of the adult population (including health professionals) are able to achieve adequate depth of compression and that children need to be at least 13 years old to achieve this level of success.
