“CPR Posture” for Hemorrhage Control

“…Methods: Participants, recruited as a convenience sample, were randomized and instructed to use either two hands overlapping using arm strength only, or two hands overlapping with arms straight in a “CPR-like” position to apply force to a standardized hemorrhage control trainer with electronic feedback (Z-Medica), set to record a minimum pressure of 3-psi (155 mmHg); representing as satisfactory pressure to occlude blood flow. Participants were allowed to train for 30 seconds and then were asked to hold pressure at or above 3-psi for a three-minute time period. …”
