Which device monitors CPR and provides real time feedback for rate, depth and recoil?

• A. Stethoscope.
• B. Chest compression feedback device.
• C. AED.
• D. Pulse oximeter.

Answer: (B)

Real-time CPR quality is measured by a chest compression feedback device. It uses sensors to track how deep each compression goes, how fast you’re delivering them, and whether the chest fully returns to its position between compressions. This helps you stay within the recommended targets—about 100–120 compressions per minute, roughly 5 cm (2 inches) of depth for adults, and complete chest recoil—to maximize blood flow during CPR. While stethoscopes, AEDs, and pulse oximeters have important roles in resuscitation, they don’t continually quantify compression rate, depth, and recoil like a dedicated chest compression feedback device.
