Chest compression (CC) quality directly impacts cardiac arrest outcomes. Provider body type can influence the quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR); however, the magnitude of this impact while using visual feedback is not well described. The aim of the study was to determine the association between provider anthropometric variables on fatigue and CC adherence to 2015 American Heart Association CPR while receiving visual feedback.
