Q-CPR is a new clinical measurement and feedback tool that will have a major impact on the quality of CPR that is delivered by professional rescuers in the field. Furthermore, we feel confident that this improvement in CPR quality will have a direct impact on helping saves lives. Life saving CPR is dependent on several coordinated factors, as illustrated in the CPR Quality Circle.
