Summary
This study looked at whether giving rescue breaths during CPR makes it harder for healthcare workers to do mental arithmetic. 38 trained professionals performed dose calculations with and without ventilations. The goal was to see if the extra task of ventilating affects other mental tasks during resuscitation.
