CPR Surface Choice on Chest Compression Quality

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Cardiac Arrest; Simulation of Physical Illness
• Interventions: Other: Bed; Other: Floor

• Registration Number: NCT06406101
• Lead Sponsor: Hospital Clinic of Barcelona

Brief Summary

The objective of our randomized simulation study on mannequins with a population of Basic Life Support students is to compare the quality of chest compressions, taking depth as the main variable, in two simulated scenarios of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest on a bed: one where Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation is performed on the bed and another where the patient is transferred to the ground for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation.
