Can CPR be done with your feet instead of your hands?
German doctors say performing chest compressions with the leg and heel is a safer alternative to usual CPR during the pandemic
Chest compressions in CPR can be successfully performed using the feet rather than the hands, according to a new German study that says the technique would help protect doctors and nurses from aerosol spread of COVID-19.
The researchers from Klinikum Stuttgart recruited 20 emergency and intensive care nurses and specialists to compare the effectiveness of leg and heel compression and compared to hand ones.
