Description
Introduction: When assisting unconscious victims, the ability to perform
High-Quality Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (HQ-CPR) is critical for
optimizing patient outcomes. However, many factors could contribute to
achieving HQ-CPR, primarily the rescuer's BMI (body mass index). Hence,
this study aimed to investigate the correlation between BMI and the ability
to perform HQ-CPR.
Methods: This study used a correlational and was conducted at the Institute
of Technology, Science and Health Sciences (ITSK) of Dr. Soepraoen Malang
Hospital from 25th to 26th September 2021. A total of 101 nursing
students who participated in Basic Trauma Cardiac Life Support (BTCLS)
training in the institute in 2021 were assigned as population. Finally, 91
eligible participants were recruited using a purposive sampling technique.
Their BMI and the ability to perform HQ-CPR was studied as the
independent and dependent variable, respectively.
Results: The Kolmogorov-Smirnov correlation test analysis yielded a p-
value of 0.000, indicating a correlation between BMI and the ability to
perform HQ-CPR.
Conclusion: These findings supported the notion of the effect of BMI on the
ability to execute HQ-CPR procedures. Mildly obese, severely obese, and
severely underweight individuals were less likely to perform HQ-CPR
compared to healthy or mildly obese individuals. HQ-CPR is highly
required to be maintained in the first two minutes by rescuers with normal
BMI. BMI posed a crucial role in fitness level and was associated with the
weariness level of an individual.
