Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Differences in heart rate changes between the PALm-PALm method and the ALONE method	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
(1) Comparison of blood pressure change, oxygen saturation change, respiratory rate change, modified Borg scale after completion of chest compressions, and compression depth in all study subjects (2) Relationship between height, weight, BMI, and upper/ lower limb length, and the primary endpoints. (3) Comparison of the above between groups divided by height.	—
