Correlation of Body Mass Index and The Ability to Perform High Quality Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: Manikin Study

Abstract. When assisting unconscious victims, the ability to perform High Quality Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (HQ-CPR) is critical for optimizing rescue efforts. However, many factors contribute achieving HQ-CPR, including helper's BMI (body mass index). The aim of this study was investigate relationship between and HQ-CPR proficiency. This uses a correlational methodology. 101 nursing students from Institut Teknologi, Sains, Dan Kesehatan (ITSK) RS Dr. Soepraoen who took part in Basic Trauma Cardiac Life Support (BTCLS) training 2021 made up population study. Purposive sampling technique utilized, 91 people were included sample. score each CPR assistant serves as independent variable capacity dependent variable. On September 25 26, 2021, conducted at ITSK Soepraoen. Given that Kolmogorov-Smirnov correlation test analysis yielded p-value 0.000, it possible draw conclusion person's their conduct are related. study's findings support notion has an impact on execute HQ-CPR. A respondent mild severe obesity range or with extreme thinness less likely be able than normal mildly obese BMI. often maintained first two minutes by providers fitness weariness person influenced healthy usually superior endurance because heart breathing processes, among other organ functions, stronger.
