Summary

This study tested if using the lower leg to push on the chest during CPR works as well as the standard hand method. About 99 paramedic and nursing students performed two minutes of chest compressions on a manikin, either with their hands or their dominant foot. The goal was to see if leg compressions could be a good alternative when traditional CPR is not possible, such as for people with disabilities or in tight spaces.
