Summary:An abstract of a study by Cashin et al determining the skill level of athletic trainers performing 2 rescuer cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on a high fidelity manikin is presented. Fourteen of eighteen pairs (77.78%) did not achieve an overall CPR score of 80% on the first attempt. There was a total of 19 trials where participant pairs failed to demonstrate CPR proficiency (≥80%). For the 19 failed trials the overall CPR score was (51.52 ± 19.63%), compression score was (47.58 ± 34.95%), ventilation score was (90.47 ± 13.70%). The 19 failed trials had compression depth (46.32 ± 11.48 mm), compression rate (123.95 ± 12.31/min), ventilation volume (519.42 ± 235.89 mL), and ventilation rate (5.16 ± 1.21/min).
