Question

what impact does minimizing pauses in compressions during cpr have on chest compression fraction (ccf)?
choose the correct answer
no effect to ccf
decreases ccf
increases ccf

Explanation:

Chest compression fraction (CCF) is the proportion of time during cardiac arrest when chest compressions are being performed. Minimizing pauses in compressions means more time is spent on compressions. Since CCF is calculated as (compression time)/(total resuscitation time), more compression time (due to fewer pauses) will increase the value of CCF.

Answer:

Increases CCF
