OBJECTIVE: To determine the effects of different resting methods with various rest-start points or rest-compression ratios on improving cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) quality and reducing fatigue during continuous chest compressions (CCC) in 10-min hands-only CPR scenario. METHODS: This prospective crossover study was conducted in 30 laypersons aged 18-65. Trained participants were randomized to follow different orders to perform following hands-only CPR methods: (1) CCC, 10-min CCC; (2) 4+6, 4-min CCC + 6-min of 10-s pause after 60-s compressions; (3) 2+8 (10/60), 2-min CCC + 8-min of 10-s pause after 60-s compressions; (4) 5/30, 2-min CCC + 8-min of 5-s pause after 30-s compressions; (5) 3/15, 2-min CCC + 8-min of 3-s pause after 15-s compressions. CPR quality (depth, rate, hands-off duration, chest compression fraction (CCF)) and participants' fatigue indicators (heart rate, blood pressure, rating of perceived exertion (RPE)) were compared among methods of different rest-start points and different rest-compression ratios with CCC. RESULTS: Twenty-eight participants completed all methods. All resting methods reduced the trend of declining compression depth and the trend of increasing RPE while maintaining CCF of more than 86%. In methods with different rest-start points, the 2+8 method showed no difference in overall CPR quality or fatigue, but better CPR quality of every minute than 4+6 method. In methods with different rest-compression ratios, the 3/15 method showed the best CPR quality and the highest heart rate increment. CONCLUSION: During prolonged hands-only CPR, appropriate transient rests were associated with higher CPR quality and lower subjectively perceived fatigue in laypersons.
