Multicenter observational study of 506 CPR files (largest of its kind to date) Multicenter observational study of 506 CPR files (largest of its kind to date) Investigated the association of chest compression fraction (CCF)* with survival in patients presenting in VF/VT Investigated the association of chest compression fraction (CCF)* with survival in patients presenting in VF/VT Evaluated CCF during the period prior to first shock Evaluated CCF during the period prior to first shock Conclusions: Conclusions: More time spent performing chest compressions in the early phase of resuscitation substantially affects survival More time spent performing chest compressions in the early phase of resuscitation substantially affects survival Some questions are unanswered, and further studies are necessary Some questions are unanswered, and further studies are necessary *Proportion of time spent delivering chest compressions.
