Overview
Brief Summary
Sudden cardiac arrest is a major public health problem worldwide and it is one of the leading causes of death in industrialized countries. Emergency Medical Services (EMS) dispatchers play an important role to recognize cardiac arrest and give help to the lay first responder via telephone CPR (T-CPR) which improves survival rates. The current technology allows the live video connection between the scene and the dispatcher which provides the opportunity for video-assisted CPR (V-CPR) via the bystander smartphone.
Effectiveness of V-CPR has only been investigated to a limited extent. Comparing effectiveness of V-CPR (effectiveness of chest compression, time parameters eg. time to first chest compression) to T-CPR and non-instructed CPR can be useful to implement V-CPR technology.
Detailed Description
Sudden cardiac arrest is a major public health problem worldwide and it is one of the leading causes of death in industrialized countries.

The current technology allows the live video connection between the scene and the dispatcher which provides the opportunity for video-assisted CPR (V-CPR) via the bystander smartphone. Effectiveness of V-CPR has only been investigated to a limited extent. Comparing effectiveness of V-CPR (quality of chest compressions: depth, rate, hand position), time parameters: time to recognize cardiac arrest, time of check breathing, total no-flow time, to first chest compression) to T-CPR and non-instructed CPR can be useful to implement V-CPR technology.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •healthy volunteer
Exclusion Criteria
- •healthcare professionals (paramedics, nurses, etc.)
- •pregnant women
- •people with cardio-pulmonary and musculoskeletal diseases or any other impairment that would risk harm for the volunteer while performing CPR for 2 minutes
- •psychological disabilities
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Quality of chest compressions (rate of chest compressions).
Time Frame: During procedure
Chest compression rate will be evaluated by a manikin connected to a CPR software.
Quality of chest compressions (depth of chest compressions).
Time Frame: During procedure
Chest compression depth will be evaluated by a manikin connected to a CPR software.
Quality of chest compressions (hand position of chest compressions).
Time Frame: During procedure
Hand position during chest compression will be evaluated by observation.
Secondary Outcomes
- Time factors of CPR(During procedure)
- Attitude of bystanders.(Immediately after the CPR procedure (within 15 minutes))
