- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The primary endpoint is the percentage of hands-on time, defined as time of actual chest compressions divided by the total time interval of the study period. A power analysis, based on data of pilot experiments, revealed that approximately 50 teams have to be studied in each study arm to detect a between-group difference of 10% in the primary outcome with significance levels of 0.05 and 80% power. Accordingly, the study will be terminated as soon as at least 50 videotapes of sufficient quality for each study arm are available. For organizational reasons, the number of available videotapes of sufficient quality can be assessed only after completion of each educational course.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Secondary outcomes include the number and time of interactions with the family member, adherence to various aspects of the international CPR guidelines, and the NASA task load data. The effect of designated leadership is assessed as secondary outcome for all outcomes analyzed.
