Description
Kim and Choi test whether a rescuer's rising heart rate signals fading infant CPR quality, in this 2025 paper. Tired rescuers may press less well, and heart rate offers an objective sign of fatigue. The study used a training manikin rather than real patients.
Twenty-seven pediatric emergency nurses, all certified in advanced life support, were matched by experience and split into three groups. Each group did a short exercise burst at a different point to raise heart rates by varying amounts. All then performed three two-minute rounds of compressions. Press counts, depth, speed, and hand placement stayed steady, and heart rates showed no meaningful link to performance.
