Abstract
BACKGROUND: Cardiac arrest is a leading cause of mortality in America and has increased in the incidence of cases over the last several years. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) increases survival outcomes in cases of cardiac arrest; however, healthcare workers often do not perform CPR within recommended guidelines. Real-time audiovisual feedback (RTAVF) devices improve the quality of CPR performed. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to compare the effect of RTAVF-assisted CPR with conventional CPR and to evaluate whether the use of these devices improved outcomes in both in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients. AIM: To identify the effect of RTAVF-assisted CPR on patient outcomes and CPR quality with in- and OHCA. METHODS: < 0.05. RESULTS: = 0.047]. CONCLUSION: RTAVF-assisted CPR increases ROSC in cases of IHCA and chest compression depth but has no significant effect on ROSC in cases of OHCA, SHD, or chest compression rate.
