Brief Summary

Background: Sudden death due to cardiorespiratory arrest has a high mortality and in most cases occurs in out-of-hospital. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) initiated immediately by witnesses doubles survival. However, rural areas present different challenges regarding the arrival of emergency services. As a result, the rural population could benefit from basic CPR training programs, in order to improve survival in front of a situation of cardiorespiratory arrest. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the online training in CPR-AED carried out by participants in a rural area of Camp de Tarragona. Methodology: Quasi-experimental design, consisting of 2 phases: Phase 1) Evaluation of the effectiveness of the online training in CPR-AED knowledge; Phase 2) Evaluation of the effectiveness of the online training in CPR-AED maneuvers in simulation at short- and medium- term. The main variable is the score difference between the pre- and post-training test (phase 1) and the passing or not (pass/fail) of the simulated test (phase 2). Continuous variables will be compared using the Student's t-test or the U-Man Whitney test (depending on normality). For categorical variables, Pearson's Chi-square test will be used. A multivariate analysis will be performed to determine which factors independently influence the main variable. Applicability and Relevance: The evaluation of the effectiveness of this course will allow it to be extended to different rural territories of the community, contributing to the expansion of knowledge of CPR-AED maneuvers.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Effectiveness of the online training in CPR-AED knowledge

    The score difference obtained between the pre-training test and the post-training test.

    1 month

  • Effectiveness of the online training in CPR-AED maneuvers in simulation

    The CCR checklist will be used to evaluate the maneuvers in simulation. This variable will be defined as dichotomous. If the participant's result is APPROVED, he will be considered PASSED and if the result is FAILED, he will be NOT APPROVED.

    6 months

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Socio-demographic data

    1 month

  • ACP data

    1 month

  • Time taken to complete the course

    1 month

  • The number of entries to complete the course

Study Arms (1)

Participants registered in the online training in CPR-AED

EXPERIMENTAL

The online training has been designed according to the Catalan Resuscitation Council (CCR) and the European Resuscitation Council (ERC) guidelines. The aim of this training is to provide theoretical and practical knowledge to respond to aid situations (from unconscious people to drowning, both adults and children), as well as the use of the AED. The contents are available at the link \[https://register.magnore.com/registre-curs-de-reanimacio-cardiopulmonar-dea/\].
