About

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.
