I believe it's better for the doctor to do the CPR while standing up. It's an extremely tiring/exhausting maneuver that requires you to position correctly and I have a feeling it gets harder if you are kneeling on the floor (could be wrong though). I've heard from doctors who did on the ER floor (though I didn'tget to ask them if it was the same thing, easier or harder), but that's because the ER was already full of patients and there were no more beds. I've never done CPR on the floor though so I can't really tell personally if it's harder/more uncomfortable though.
