International Research on Innovative Chest Compression Techniques at the Faculty of Health Sciences

From 21 to 23 October 2025, the Faculty of Health Sciences hosted an international scientific research project in collaboration with the Academy of Applied Medical and Social Sciences in Elbląg (Poland), titled “Innovating External Chest Compression Techniques through the High-Impulse Palm-Lift (HIPL) Approach.”

The project was led by Ivica Matić and Marin Čargo from the Faculty of Health Sciences, and by Przemysław Wołoszyn, Ignacy Baumberg, and Rafał Śledziński from Poland.

During the two-day visit, three main activities were carried out:

  • exchange of experiences in medical simulation as a teaching method,

  • training and experimental measurement of the classical and HIPL chest compression techniques using the GAUMARD Hal 3201 simulator,

  • analysis of results and planning of a joint scientific publication.

The research involved nursing and medical students as part of the Erasmus+ cooperation between the two institutions. The initial results indicate that the HIPL technique can enhance the biomechanical efficiency of chest compressions and reduce rescuer fatigue, thus opening new opportunities for the advancement of emergency medical education.

We extend our gratitude to all students and faculty members of the Faculty of Health Sciences and the School of Medicine, as well as to the University staff, for their participation and support in conducting this international research project.
