Zusammenfassung:	The aim of the study was to compare the parameters of chest compressions with and without the Lifeline ARM chest compression device (ARM; Defibtech, Guilford, CT) during simulated cardiopulmonary resuscitation performed by nurses. Summing up, the nurses participating in the study performed chest compressions of poor quality. [...]continuous training is necessary to improve the quality of chest compressions by this professional group.
