NCT01245699

Brief Summary

The investigators will quantify the quality of chest compressions provided in the Emergency Department and determine whether the quality of chest compressions is related to patient outcome. The quality of chest compressions and patient outcomes will be assessed both before and after the introduction of audiovisual feedback in real time.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (6)

  • CPR Quality-compression Depth

    Measurement of chest compression depth

    during CPR

  • CPR Quality-percent of >51mm Compressions

    Percent of Chest Compressions greater than 51mm

    during CPR

  • CPR Quality

    Chest Compression Release Velocity

    during CPR

  • CPR Quality-compression Fraction

    Chest Compression Fraction indicating the percentage of time in which chest compressions are done by rescuers during a cardiac arrest

    During CPR
