Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The average achieved cardiac output

    The main goal of the study is the average achieved cardiac output. Data acquisition is carried out on a resuscitation-manikin which can measure compression-rate (CR) and compression-depth (CD). The data are recorded by a computer during the CPR. To calculate the cardiac output, we multiply the average CR \[1/min\] with the average CD \[mm\] during the 5 min manikin-resuscitation. The thus obtained average cardiac-output (CO = CR x CD), measured in \[mm/min\], will be compared in each group.

    after 5 minutes

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Constancy of the quality of chest-compressions

    after 5 minutes
