• Conditions: Heart Arrest

• Lead Sponsor: Hallym University Kangnam Sacred Heart Hospital

Brief Summary

Chest compression, a key component of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), has a major role for survival of cardiac arrest patients. According to 2015 American heart association (AHA) guideline, rescuers provide high quality CPR to adult cardiac arrest patients including 5 to 6 cm depth and 100 to 120 beat per minute rate chest compression.

However, in CPR situation, chest compression depth and rate vary according to provider's muscle strength. In other words, the individual difference of the degree of physical activity will make the different result for CPR. So, the investigators hypothesize that the core muscles activation using physical fitness improves the quality of chest compression and the quality of CPR, eventually.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
after core muscle activation using physical fitness	core muscle activation using physical fitness	The subjects consist of 25 medical school students and interns had experienced in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) education. After 1st chest compression, subjects take a rest during an hour and carry out PT. PT consist of 30 second plank for 3 sets, 12 times bridge for 3 sets and 20 times leg extension for 3 sets. Subjects take a rest during 30 seconds between sets, 1 minute every 3 sets. After PT completion, subjects take a rest during 10 minutes, and then perform 2nd chest compression in the same way of 1st chest compression. Researchers record subject's chest compression depth and rate in 2nd chest compression.
