Brief Summary

Sudden cardiac arrest is a major public health problem worldwide and it is one of the leading causes of death in industrialized countries. Emergency Medical Services (EMS) dispatchers play an important role to recognize cardiac arrest and give help to the lay first responder via telephone CPR (T-CPR) which improves survival rates. The current technology allows the live video connection between the scene and the dispatcher which provides the opportunity for video-assisted CPR (V-CPR) via the bystander smartphone. Effectiveness of V-CPR has only been investigated to a limited extent. Comparing effectiveness of V-CPR (effectiveness of chest compression, time parameters eg. time to first chest compression) to T-CPR and non-instructed CPR can be useful to implement V-CPR technology.

Cardiac Arrest

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Quality of chest compressions (depth of chest compressions).

    Chest compression depth will be evaluated by a manikin connected to a CPR software.

    During procedure

  • Quality of chest compressions (rate of chest compressions).

    Chest compression rate will be evaluated by a manikin connected to a CPR software.

    During procedure

  • Quality of chest compressions (hand position of chest compressions).

    Hand position during chest compression will be evaluated by observation.

    During procedure

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Time factors of CPR

    During procedure

  • Attitude of bystanders.

    Immediately after the CPR procedure (within 15 minutes)

Study Arms (3)

T-CPR

ACTIVE COMPARATOR
