Where exactly is the chest compression, where does it begin, when does it end, how deep does it go and at what rate
are they performed? In short – how good or bad is the chest compression? These are some of the questions researchers
ask themselves repeatedly. As well as these data, we need to know the proportion of resuscitation time spent giving
quality compressions, the ratio of interruptions and several other parameters and we need to evaluate the effect on
survival. Considering the increasing capacity for data storage and growing repositories of resuscitation data one might
also ask what proportion of valuable research time is spent in analysing compressions.
