Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of this study was to compare five CPR feedback devices to standard BLS in terms of the quality of single rescuer pediatric resuscitation. Therefore, the investigators hypothesis was that there would be no difference between CPR methods in terms of chest compression quality parameters.
Detailed Description
Cardiac arrest is a leading cause of death worldwide. High-quality chest compressions are of paramount importance for survival and good neurological outcome. Unfortunately, even health professionals have difficulty performing effective CPR. Chest compression (CC) is often too shallow, compression ratio is inadequate, and hands-off time is too long. CPR feedback devices might be an option for rescuers to in order to increase CC efficiency.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Effective compressions was defined as compression with correct depth (40-50mm), correct hand position and complete decompressions
Time Frame: 1 month
effective compressions was defined as compression with correct depth (40-50mm), correct hand position and complete decompressions
Secondary Outcomes
- Chest compression depth(1 month)
- Chest compression rate(1 month)
- effective compressions ratio was defined as effective compressions [%] multiplied by flow time [%](1 month)
- Flow time was defined as the sum of all periods during which chest compressions were performed(1 month)
- absolute hands-off time was defined as the sum of all periods without chest compressions or ventilation(1 month)
- VAS (visual analogue scale)(1 month)
- Prefered CPR device(1 month)
