## Context: Transport of patients during resuscitation is a critical procedure. in both, ambulances and helicopters the quality of resuscitation is potentially hampered due to the movement of the vehicle and confined space. to date, however, no direct comparison of the quality of resuscitation at the scene, during a helicopter flight and in a moving ambulance has been made. ## Objective: Direct comparison of the quality of resuscitation at the scene, during a helicopter flight and in a moving ambulance. ## Design: The study was performed in july 2005 as a randomised cross-over trial comparing different environments for resuscitation. ## Setting: Medical university of vienna. ## Participants: Eleven european resuscitation council (erc) approved health care professionals. ## Interventions: Interventions during resuscitation: (a) in a moving ambulance, (b) in a flying helicopter, were compared to those staying at the (c) scene (control). each participant performed resuscitation in all three environments. ## Main outcome measures: Quality of chest compression during resuscitation. ## Results: Compared to resuscitation at the scene, efficiency of chest compressions during a helicopter f
