| CPREzy™ improves performance of external chest compression in simulated cardiac arrest. |
Max Skorning, Stefan Beckers et al. Anaesthesiology Clinic, University Hospital, Aachen, Germany |
The CPEzy™ is a new device that is easy to use after brief instruction and able to improve layperson' performance of ECC in simulated cardiac arrest. In addition, it seems to enhance the quality of classic ECC later, even if the device has only been used in resuscitation training. |

| CPREzy improves chest compressions: Acceptance and benefit from different users point of view |
Max Skorning, Stefan Beckers et al. Anaesthesiology Clinic, University Hospital, Aachen, Germany |
"...it is a major finding that CPREzy improves ECC performed by both professionals and laypersons. These findings have to be announced more clearly to convince the healthcare professionals in particular that they benefit from guidance during ECC" |

| Making increased compression time effective: a role for the CPREzy |
Noordergraaf et al., Dept. of Emergency Medicine, St Elizabeth Hospital, Tilburg, Netherlands |
The CPREzy™ is a suitable, reliable and robust device suitable for laymen and professionals. |

| The Quality of chest compressions by trained personnel: The effect of feedback, via the CPREzy, in a randomized controlled trial using a manikin model |
Noordergraaf et al., Dept. of Emergency Medicine, St Elizabeth Hospital, Tilburg, Netherlands
Resuscitation Vol 69 (2006) 241-252 |
“Evidence strongly suggests that a feedback device such as CPREzy should consistently be used during resuscitation.” “The improvements in efficacy should be an important factor in optimization of the ‘Chain of survival’.” |

| CPREzyTM: A new adjunct to improve external chest compressions by professionals |
Max Skorning, Stefan Beckers et al. Anaesthesiology Clinic, University Hospital, Aachen, Germany
Abstract submitted to the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions Nov. 2005 |
“CPREzy as a simple portable and re-usable device is able to improve healthcare professionals´ performance of ECC in simulated cardiac arrest. In addition the device is a suitable tool for ECC training” |

Perkins et al. Division of Medical Sciences, University of Birmingham, England

“…this is the first intervention that has been shown to improve the performance of chest compressions when undertaken with the victim on a hospital bed.” |

| Improvement in timing and effectiveness of external cardiac compressions with a new non-invasive device: the CPREzy |
Boyle et al., Dept. of Cardiology, St.Vincent’s Hospital, Melbourne, Australia
Resuscitation Vol 54 (2002) 63-67 |
“the CPREzy can improve timing and effectiveness of ECC, and reduce the effects of resuscitator fatigue, in community-trained subjects.” |

| CPREzyTM: A new aid for the improvement of the quality of external chest compressions |
S.Beckers, et al., Anaesthesiology Clinic, University Hospital, Aachen, Germany.
Poster abstract at the Congress of the German Anaesthesiology Society in Munich, Germany, April 2005 |
“CPREzyTM leads to improvement in ECC for both frequency and depth.” |
|
| Actually doing chest compressions: the CPREzy’s contribution to BLS |
Noordergraaf et al.,
Poster abstract at the 3rd Mediterranean Emergency Medicine Conference in Nice, France. Sept. 2005 |
“ The CPREzy can be used during clinical resuscitation” “ Case oriented data, in terms of ETCO2 values during CPR, show that using the CPREzy consistently increases this measure of pulmonary circulation” |
|
| The CPREzy and caregiver safety under stringent defibrillation conditions |
Noordergraaf et al.,
abstract at the Annual Meeting of the Belgian Society of Anesthesiology and Resuscitation, Nov 2005 |
“ We suggest that the use of the CPREzy makes a contribution to the safety of the caregiver, when using a biphasic defibrillator. This may be particularly important in ad hoc teams or when compressions are performed close to defibrillation” |
|
| Feedback during CPR: judging chest compressions |
Noordergraaf et al.,
Poster abstract at the 2nd Science Day, Dutch Society for Anesthesiology, Sept 2005, Amsterdam, Netherlands, |
“ Neither physicians nor nurses consistently recognise impression depths without the help of a feedback device. Ability improves with feedback, eg the CPREzy” “External factors such as the suggestion of “work being done” by the caregiver directly influences the perception of depth” |
|
| Preliminary Assessment of CPREzy |
Kevin Stowe, Divisional Superintendent St John Ambulance Association
October 2003 |
“It is concluded that the CPREzy compression depth settings will meet ILCOR standards accurately when used on a manikin designed to represent the entire range of adult chest stiffness” |
