Why the study?

Athletic trainers must manage cardiac arrest in athletes participating in equipment-intensive sports, but whether they can perform high-quality CPR over hockey shoulder pads was unknown.

Does performing CPR over hockey shoulder pads reduce CPR quality among athletic trainers?

Population

50 athletic trainers performing CPR on a manikin

Comparison

CPR performed over hockey shoulder pads

Design

Simulation study

Overview

CPR over hockey pads yields inadequate quality among athletic trainers; leaves open whether pads require removal before resuscitation.

Structured PICO

Does performing CPR over hockey shoulder pads reduce CPR quality among athletic trainers?

P
Population
50 athletic trainers performing CPR on a medium-fidelity manikin (Resusci Anne QCPR)
I
Intervention
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) performed according to 2020 AHA guidelines on a manikin fitted with hockey shoulder pads for 8 minutes and 59 seconds
O
Outcome
Percentage of participants who achieved satisfactory performance on various aspects of CPR performance (overall CPR score, overall compression score, compression depth, adequate compressions, compression rate, full chest recoil, and adequate ventilations)surrogate

Performing CPR over hockey shoulder pads significantly reduces compression and ventilation quality, indicating pads should be removed prior to resuscitation.
