CPR timer showdown: does switching every minute save more lives?
NCT ID NCT07624851
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether switching the person doing chest compressions every one minute instead of every two minutes improves CPR quality and reduces fatigue. Eighteen healthcare workers performed CPR on a child-sized manikin under both rotation schedules. Researchers measured compression rate, depth, recoil, and self-reported fatigue to see which interval works better.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If shorter rotation intervals improve CPR quality and reduce rescuer fatigue, this could lead to updated CPR guidelines for pediatric emergencies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study with only 18 participants using a manikin, not real patients. Real-world results may differ, and the findings are too preliminary to change practice yet.
