| Scientific title | Back pain and Rescuer fatigue following CardioPulmonary Resuscitation by different postures |
| Study acronym | BRCPR |
| Study objectives | Back pain as an occupational disorder in health care providers has been well documented in the literature. But the association between back pain and Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) was seldom studied. The objectives of this study were to determine whether different CPR postures including kneeling, standing, and standing on taboret are able to induce back pain in rescuers, and to compare differences in rescuer fatigue in three CPR postures. Hypothesis: Back pain and rescuer fatigue are different among three different postures of CPR. |
| Ethics approval(s) | Ethics approval received from the Institutional Review Board of Chi Mei Medical Center from 5th February 2007 to 16th February 2008 (ref: IRB09602-0011). |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Rescuer fatigue for resuscitation |
| Intervention | Cardiopulmonary resuscitation for 10 minutes by using kneeling, standing, and standing on taboret postures. Since this is a prospective and cross-over trial, each of the participants should complete three different CPR posture within 3 weeks in one week apart. Therefore, each of the sequences of CPR should follow up for at least 48 hours, but the total follow-up period for each of them will be 3 weeks and two days. |
| Intervention type | Other |
| Primary outcome measure | 1. Severity of back pain (by Brief Pain Inventory Short Form), measured 24 hours and 48 hours post CPR 2. Rescuer fatigue (effective compression of cardiac massage) - detected by Laerdal Resusci-Anne® Skillreporter™ mannequin, measured during 10 minutes of cardiac massage |
| Secondary outcome measures | Range of motion of elbow and back with different CPR postures (detected by flexible goniometer), measured during 10 minutes of cardiac massage. |
| Overall study start date | 01/03/2007 |
| Completion date | 31/12/2007 |
