Some of the professions that require the knowledge and the ability to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) include physicians, nurses, paramedics, and firefighters. While firefighters are expected to meet certain criteria for body mass index (BMI), height, and weight to be recruited, medical professionals are not expected to meet such criteria. However, some studies have demonstrated that anthropometric variables affect the quality of CPR. The aim of our study was to investigate the effect of sex, age, BMI, and smoking habits in CPR practitioners on the quality of CPR. This study was planned as a prospective study. It was conducted with 104 nurses in the emergency department of a tertiary hospital. Participants were randomly assigned to groups of 2 members. Each of the 2 members in the group took turns to perform CPR for 2 minutes. Participants' performance of CPR was recorded using the TrueCPR device. Of the 70 participants who were performed suboptimal CPR, 40 were in the nonsmoking group. Furthermore, 34 participants who were found to perform optimal CPR had a mean BMI of 23.6 (21.2-26.0) kg/m2. Height, weight, and BMI values were found to have statistical significance in optimal CPR. According to the study, low BMI is associated with suboptimal CPR.
一些需要掌握心肺复苏术（CPR）知识和能力的职业包括医生、护士、护理人员和消防员。虽然消防员在被招募时需要满足一定的体重指数（BMI）、身高和体重标准，但医疗专业人员则无需满足此类标准。然而，一些研究表明，人体测量变量会影响心肺复苏的质量。我们研究的目的是调查心肺复苏从业者的性别、年龄、BMI和吸烟习惯对心肺复苏质量的影响。本研究计划为前瞻性研究。研究在一家三级医院急诊科的104名护士中进行。参与者被随机分成2人一组。每组中的2名成员轮流进行2分钟的心肺复苏。使用TrueCPR设备记录参与者的心肺复苏表现。在70名进行了次优心肺复苏的参与者中，40人在非吸烟组。此外，34名被发现进行了最优心肺复苏的参与者的平均BMI为23.6（21.2 - 26.0）kg/m²。身高、体重和BMI值在最优心肺复苏中具有统计学意义。根据该研究，低BMI与次优心肺复苏有关。
