Hand position during chest compression in infantile piglets – Do you need to encircle the chest with the 2-thumb-technique?
The 2-thumb- and 2-thumb-encircling-techniques produced significantly higher ejection fraction, carotid blood flow, and dp/dt<sub>max</sub>, and lower dp/dt<sub>min</sub> compared to the 2-finger- and one-hand-techniques. Encircling the chest during the 2-thumb-technique produces similar hemodynamic effects compared to the 2-thumb-technique without encircling.
