• Conditions: Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation; Education
• Interventions: Other: Online real-time quality measurement and feedback video-based CPR training; Other: Conventional CPR training; Other: Online real-time feedback video-based CPR training without quality measurement

• Lead Sponsor: Seoul National University Hospital

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a new online real-time quality measurement and feedback video-based CPR training program. The study participants will be allocated to three different CPR training programs: online real-time quality measurement and feedback video-based CPR training program, online real-time feedback video-based CPR training without quality measurement program, and conventional CPR training program. After CPR training, each participant will perform a 6 minute CPR simulation test. The investigators will compare the quality of chest compression between the three study groups. The investigators hypothesize that the new online real-time quality measurement and feedback video-based CPR training program is non-inferior to the preexisting conventional CPR training program and is superior to online real-time feedback video-based CPR training without quality measurement.

Detailed Description

Bystander CPR is important for the survival of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients. CPR training for the general public is important to improve the rate and quality of bystander CPR. Preexisting CPR education was conducted under face-to-face contact with instructors and multiple trainees gathering at a training center, but after the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, face-to-face training became difficult. To overcome this limitation the investigators have developed a new online real-time quality measurement and feedback video-based CPR training program that uses online video conferencing, Little Anne QCPR mannequin (Laerdal, Stavanger, Norway) and SkillGuide (Laerdal, Stavanger, Norway) device.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a new online real-time quality measurement and feedback video-based CPR training program. To evaluate the effectiveness of the new CPR training program the investigators propose to conduct a randomized clinical trial with three arms: online real-time quality measurement and feedback video-based CPR training program, online real-time feedback video-based CPR training without quality measurement program, and conventional CPR training program. 60 non healthcare provider, healthy adult volunteers will be randomized to each study arm. After CPR training, each participant will perform a 6 minute CPR simulation test. The investigators will measure the depth and rate of chest compression, hand positioning during chest compression, no-flow time and start to chest compression time.

The primary outcome of the study is mean chest compression depth. Chest compression rate, hand position, total no flow time, and time to chest compression will also be measured. The investigators hypothesize that the new online real-time quality measurement and feedback video-based CPR training program is non-inferior to the preexisting conventional CPR training program and is superior to online real-time feedback video-based CPR training without quality measurement.
