| dc.description.abstract | Certified Athletic Trainers (ATCs) are expected to perform CPR for athletes regardless of whether the athlete is wearing protective equipment. The goal of this research was to determine /if ATCs were able to/ deliver high-quality CPR over hockey shoulder pads. Fifty ATCs completed CPR according to 2015 AHA guidelines on a medium-fidelity manikin, which had been fitted with hockey shoulder pads. CPR quality was measured with the Resusci Anne Wireless SkillReporter. CPR data included the following dimensions of compressions: overall score, mean rate, chest compression fraction, mean depth, % chest recoil, and % compressions with appropriate depth. Data were analyzed to compare differences of CPR performance between covariates. Overall score separated by gender was significant with men outperforming women. 56% of ATCs did not compress at the recommended depth. Therefore, the removal of hockey shoulder pads is recommended to ensure high-quality CPR performance as administered by ATCs. | en_US |
