Optimizing Pediatric Chest Compressions: A Randomized Crossover Simulation Trial of Over-the-Head vs. Lateral Techniques
Although no statistically significant differences were detected, OTH demonstrated potential for enhanced performance. The anthropometrics of rescuers affected the quality of CPR, highlighting the necessity for tailored training methods. Future investigations should examine the long-term viability of OTH in clinical and pre-hospital environments.
