Brief Summary

In an attempt to enhance OHCA survival by increasing bystander CPR rate, this study will assess the effectiveness of the new basic life support with dispatch assistance (DA-BLS) education program through a simulation experiment. This study aims to determine whether the new DA-BLS program for possible home bystanders is associated with improved CPR quality. We expect home bystanders who were trained with new DA-BLS education program to show better compliance with CPR instructions given by dispatcher via telephone along with improved CPR quality.

Conditions

Study Arms (2)

Standard Education Group

NO INTERVENTION

Control group will receive standard basic life support training for one hour.

HEROS Group

EXPERIMENTAL

HEROS group will receive the dispatcher-assisted basic life support training that includes standardized video-based CPR education, interactive role-playing with the dispatcher as well as group discussion for one hour.

Other: Dispatcher-Assisted Basic Life Support CPR Education

Interventions

Dispatcher-Assisted Basic Life Support CPR Education OTHER

The training program focuses on working in a team with a dispatcher, re-enacting all steps during an emergency call from recognition of cardiac arrest to performing CPR. The one hour training session is split into four parts: 1. Video self-instruction manikin practice (30 min), including a brief introduction to AED. 2. Practice in pairs (15 min): Role-playing a simulated emergency scenario as the dispatcher and the rescuer 3. Debriefing (15 min): Questions, answers and reflection 4. Homework: Information leaflet handed out including at-home tasks such as operating the speakerphone function on the layperson's own phone
