Realizing Optimal Chest Compression Fraction During Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is usually preformed in complex situations with multiple parties with a wide range of capabilities. These situations require intermediate pauses for defibrillation, applying advanced airways, and switching CPR administrators. One of the biggest unknowns if chest compression fraction (CCF), which is the optimal fraction of time spent applying compressions. Using the American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines for CPR and rational actor models from game theory, we show the validity of the recommended CCF set by the by the AHA.
