Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Limitations of our study are the limited number of participants and the limited comparability to previous studies due to different methods of foot compression. Hence, we feel the results of our study are primarily hypothesis generating and warranting further research on larger collectives. Another limitation may be that for safety precautions it is not feasible to put off shoes to apply chest compression, especially in out of hospital settings. However, we observed comparable results applying leg-heel compression with shoes on. Furthermore, overall chest compression quality in both methods was more or less surprisingly bad. Unlike other studies, we did not provide any kind of feedback to the participants which may partly explain our results. Manual chest compressions are basic skills for any medical professional and essential for patient outcome[3, 18, 21]. Once again, these findings underline the all-important role of regularly CPR trainings to lay rescuers as well as to medical professionals.
