Abstract

Background and Aims: Fatigue during chest compression is significantly contributed to ineffective chest compression. Studies have shown that there are significant limitations in reaching sufficient depth number. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of customized physical fitness program on the rate of fatigue and the quality of chest compression in cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Materials and Methods: A quasi-experimental study with random allocation that lasted from March to May 2022 was performed. Convenience Sample is selected from nursing students of Al-Ameed and Warith Alanbiyaa University. Students were randomized into Intervention (Customized physical fitness) (n=30) and Control (General physical fitness) (n=30) group. Correct Chest compression and fatigue were measured. Data analysis was performed using descriptive and inferential statistics via statistical software (SPSS-22).
Results: The mean age of students was 23.05 years old. The mean score of fatigue in the first to fifth minutes after the intervention was significant between the two groups. In the intervention group, the mean number of correct chest compressions in the first to fifth minutes was significantly superior to that of control group.
Conclusion: A customized physical fitness program may lead to an increase in the correct number of chest pressures and a reduction in fatigue compared to a general fitness program. Therefore, this program is recommended for rescuers participating in resuscitation
