Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The almost evidences of the optimal hand position during compression had been based on chest computed tomography (CT) or chest plain films of patients for investigating the effective location for compressing the left ventricle of the heart during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).

However every study was conducted at full inspired state of respiration. A prospective cohort study to evaluate the proper hand position during CPR based on expired respiratory state CT as the health screening would be needed.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Chest computed tomography

Low dose chest computed tomography during expiration and inspiration

Group Type OTHER

low dose chest computed tomography

Intervention Type RADIATION

All participants were evaluated 2 scout films during LDCT screenings. The first scout film was obtained while a participant was holding a comfortable expiration with the arms at down position, and the second scout film was obtained while a full inspiration with the arms at raised position. The axial images of LDCT were taken during participants' full inspiration. The radio-opaque marker was attached to the participants' skin where the lowest part of sternum was palpable, because the sternum moves according to the position of arms and respiration.
