Impact of Personal Protective Equipment on the Quality of Chest Compressions in Prehospital Care: A Prospective Randomized Crossover Study

Original language description

Introduction: The use of personal protective equipment (PPE) in prehospital emergencycare has significantly increased since the onset of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)pandemic. Several studies investigating the potential effects of PPE use by EmergencyMedical Service providers on the quality of chest compressions during resuscitation havebeen inconclusive.Study Objectives: This study aimed to determine whether the use of PPE affects the qualityof chest compressions or influences select physiological biomarkers that are associated withstress.Methods: This was a prospective randomized, quasi-experimental crossover study with 35Emergency Medical Service providers who performed 20 minutes of chest compressions ona manikin. Two iterations were completed in a randomized order: (1) without PPE and (2)with PPE consisting of Tyvek, goggles, KN95 mask, and nitrile gloves. The rate and depthof chest compressions were measured. Salivary cortisol, lactate, end-tidal carbon dioxide(EtCO2), and body temperature were measured before and after each set of chestcompressions.Results: There were no differences in the quality of chest compressions (rate and depth)between the two groups (P &gt;.05). After performing chest compressions, the group withPPE did not have elevated levels of cortisol, lactate, or EtCO2 when compared to the groupwithout PPE, but did have a higher body temperature (P &lt;.001).Conclusion: The use of PPE during resuscitation did not lower the quality of chest compressions, nor did it lead to higher stress-associated biomarker levels, with the exception ofbody temperature.
