Background Personal protective equipment (PPE) are equipment that protect healthcare workers from harmful agents and organisms. The importance of these equipment was noticed again with the Covid-19 pandemic. Objectives In this study, we investigated the effect of different masks used as PPE on resuscitation quality and rescuer fatigue. Methods Participants applied chest compression without a mask, with a surgical mask, a filtering face-piece respirator (FFR) mask, and a half-face mask with active P3 filter. A smart watch was worn on the left wrists of the participants during chest compression in each condition. They were requested to rate their fatigue on the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Results Statistically higher average pulse rates were found in the FFR mask and half-face mask conditions. FFR mask and half-face mask resulted in statistically worse results than surgical mask and no-mask conditions in the number of compression per minute, compression depth, and compression effectiveness. Further, half-face mask and FFR mask caused more fatigue in participants. Conclusion Protective masks used as PPE other than surgical masks increase rescuer fatigue in CPR and negatively affect the quality of chest compressions.
