Brief Summary

There is a gap in our knowledge regarding whether video-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation (V-CPR) is feasible when a lay responder is alone at the scene. The feasibility of V-CPR was measured in a simulated cardiac arrest scenario when a lay responder was alone with the patient.

Conditions

Cardiac Arrest (CA)

Keywords

video-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation; cardiac arrest; cardiopulmonary resuscitation; lay responder

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Smartphone camera placement and perspective (used objects and visible environment)

  Evaluating the used object (chair, table, shue, etc) to stabilize the smartphone for V-CPR in the prepared environment (a photo was taken by the study operator). Evaluating smartphone camera perspective by the dispatcher's laptop screen (smartphone camera picture was transferred via Microsoft Teams from the smartphone to the laptop during a live video-stream (to see what the dispatcher did see). Live video-stream was also recorded for post-analysis.

  During procedure

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Smartphone camera placement time (time to the first chest compression)

  During procedure

Other Outcomes (1)

• General quality of the video-records (clarity, lagging, camera perspective, visibility of chest compressions; by using a Likert-scale: from "1 - very bad quality" to "4 - very good quality")

  During post-analysis of the video-records (within 1 week after data collection)

Study Arms (2)

V-CPR in the room

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants should perform a simulated V-CPR scenario based on the European Resuscitation Council 2021 Guidelines in a prepared room (inside environment).

Device: V-CPR inside a room when the lay responder is alone (no operator for holding the phone); Device: V-CPR in a yard (outside environment) when the lay responder is alone (no operator for holding the phone)

V-CPR outside

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants should perform a simulated V-CPR scenario based on the European Resuscitation Council 2021 Guidelines in a prepared yard (outside environment).

Device: V-CPR inside a room when the lay responder is alone (no operator for holding the phone); Device: V-CPR in a yard (outside environment) when the lay responder is alone (no operator for holding the phone)

Interventions

V-CPR inside a room when the lay responder is alone (no operator for holding the phone) DEVICE

Participants should find an appropriate smartphone position when they were able to use any objects in their environment. Participants get video-based (vocal and visual) instructions from the dispatcher during the V-CPR situation.
