TL;DR
Highly trained professionals in an emergency department can achieve appropriate chest compression rates during CPR with a low hands-off ratio, and increased attention must be paid in all situations to the avoidance of hyperventilation.

Any technique that minimizes lengthy interruptions of chest compressions during the first 10 to 15 minutes of basic life support should be given serious consideration in future efforts to improve outcome results from cardiac arrest.
JAMAEffectiveness of Bystander Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Survival Following Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest
467 Citations1995E.John Gallagher
The association between bystander CPR and survival in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest appears to be confounded by CPR quality, and effective CPR is independently associated with a quantitatively and statistically significant improvement in survival.
ResuscitationQuality and efficiency of bystander CPR
450 Citations1993Raf J Van Hoeyweghen, Leo Bossaert +5 more
Bystander CPR might have a beneficial effect on survival by maintaining the heart in ventricular fibrillation by ECC, and a negative effect of badly performed bystander CPR was not observed compared to cases which had not received bystanding CPR.

449 Citations2002Ting Yu, Max Harry Weil +5 more
Interruptions of precordial compression for rhythm analyses that exceed 15 seconds before each shock compromise the outcome of CPR and increase the severity of postresuscitation myocardial dysfunction.

Frequent interruption of chest compressions results in no circulatory support during more than half of resuscitation efforts, which could be a major contributing factor to the continued poor outcome seen with OOH cardiac arrest.

Analysis of bystander witnessed circulatory arrests resuscitated by emergency medical service (EMS) personnel in a prospective study found policy makers for basic CPR training should focus on partners of the patients, who are most likely witness of an arrest.

This study is the largest ever conducted for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survivors, clearly shows that these patients have good quality of life, and is the first to demonstrate that citizen-initiated CPR is strongly and independently associated with betterquality of life.

Bystander CPR by lay persons (excluding health care professionals) is associated with an increased chance of survival among patients suffering an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest; there is a distinction between lay persons and health care providers; survival is higher when the latter perform bystander CPR.

The optimal interal for retraining has not been established, but refresher training at intervals of less than months seems to be needed for most individuals who are not undertaking resuscitation on a regular asis.

The quality of pre Hospital CPR is associated with a greater likelihood of survival in witnessed VF arrests in need of post-shock CPR and the potential of widely available electrocardiography and voice records in AEDs in providing a convenient and real-time evaluation of prehospital CPR should be explored further.

The long-term survival rate after OHCA did not change, and Baseline characteristics remained generally unchanged, but the drugs prescribed at discharge changed in several aspects, including age, a history of myocardial infarction, ahistory of smoking, cerebral performance category at discharge, and the prescription of beta-blockers were independent predictors of outcome.

The median NFT ratio could theoretically be reduced from 51% to 34% or 49% to 39% depending on if the patient would have a shockable rhythm or not and the proposed methods to reduce NFT in connection with analyses and shocks are proposed.
