Barriers to Performing CPR in Clinical Settings

Abstract

A crucial factor in determining a patient's survival during cardiac arrest is providing excellent cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Nevertheless, it might be difficult to administer adequate chest compressions consistently, especially when tired. In developed nations, cardiac arrest is one of the main causes of death. The principles of closed chest compression, first defined in 1960, are followed in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) recommendations. The goal of mechanical CPR equipment is to enhance the quality of chest compressions, which takes into account better resuscitation results. Because performing successful chest compressions is frequently variable, fatigue-prone, and practically difficult, this study sought to explore barriers to administering cardiopulmonary resuscitation in medical settings and explain good quality chest compressions.
