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 10 min manikin-resuscitation. The thus obtained average cardiac-output (CO = CR x CD), measured in \[mm/min\], will be compared in each group.

Control
NO INTERVENTION10 minutes ALS-CPR in a normal environment
Transport
EXPERIMENTAL10 minutes ALS-CPR during a transport
Interventions
The manikin will be resuscitated during a transport in a vessel by a professional team (emergency physician / paramedic).
