Poor Concordance of One‐Third Anterior–Posterior Chest Diameter Measurements With Absolute Age‐Specific Chest Compression Depth Targets in Pediatric Cardiac Arrest Patients

Poor Concordance of One‐Third Anterior–Posterior Chest Diameter Measurements With Absolute Age‐Specific Chest Compression Depth Targets in Pediatric Cardiac Arrest Patients

Background Current pediatric cardiac arrest guidelines recommend depressing the chest by one‐third anterior–posterior diameter (APD), which is presumed to equate to absolute age‐specific chest compression depth targets (4 cm for infants and 5 cm for children). However, no clinical studies during ped...
