The investigators will quantify the quality of chest compressions provided in the Emergency

Department and determine whether the quality of chest compressions is related to patient
outcome. The quality of chest compressions and patient outcomes will be assessed both before
and after the introduction of audiovisual feedback in real time.
The Emergency Department will be using E-series unit manufactured by ZOLL Medical Group
(Chelmsford, MA). These units are equipped with an accelerometer-based system that allows for
measurement of chest compression depth and rate. These units are also equipped with
RealCPRHelp, and FDA-approved technology that provides real-time audiovisual feedback to
providers on the quality of chest compressions.
In the first phase of the project, the ED providers will utilize the E-series units to treat
all patients requiring chest compressions.
