Quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation on manikins: on the floor and in the bed

Background: In general, in‐hospital resuscitation is performed in a bed and out‐of‐hospital resuscitation on the floor. The surface under the patient may affect the cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) quality; therefore, we evaluated CPR quality (the percentage of chest compressions of correct depth) and rescuer's fatigue (the mean compression depth minute by minute) when CPR is performed on a manikin on the floor or in the bed.
