Resumo

The purpose of the study was to analyse how the auxiliary rescue material and the automatic compression mechanism influence cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The sample of our research is composed of a group of 78 lifeguards (50 men and 28 women). An initial test was performed which consisted in the execution of 5 min of CPR. The sample was divided in two groups. Each group performed a second test; water rescue and subsequent 5 min of CPR. One group performed the rescue without material and manual CPR. The other one, the water rescue with flippers and rescue tube and the CPR with an automatic compression mechanism. The use of the automatic compression mechanism improves the conditions in the correct compressions (p < 0.001). There was no significant difference in the correct breathing (p = 0.56). During the water rescue men were faster when compared to women (p < 0.001). When the rescuers are equipped with flippers and a rescue tube, the gender is not as significant (p = 0.26). The rescue material is a key to reduce the time water rescue, and the automatic compression mechanism to improve the quality CPR.
