  1. The data are presented as numbers and percentages of patients, as median and 25% to 75% interquartile range (IQR), or as means and standard deviations (SD) as appropriate (non-normal or normal distribution respectively).
  2. aIndicates the rate of compressions when delivered.
  3. bIndicates the average number of compressions actually given per minute during the resuscitation attempt.
  4. cIndicates the incomplete chest wall decompression after chest compression phase.
  5. dIndicates the proportion of time without chest compressions during the resuscitation attempt.
  6. eIndicates the proportion of time during rhythm analyses? without chest compressions before shock.
  7. fIndicates the proportion of time during rhythm analyses? without chest compressions after shock.
