Overview
Brief Summary
Investigation of the influence of narrowness and unusual circumstances on the CPR-quality
Detailed Description
Even for paramedics and emergency physicians, the resuscitation of patients with cardiac arrest remains a challenge. Previous studies have shown that the cardiac output varies widely even under normal ambient conditions. Especially the mean frequenices of cardiac compression varies from 60 to 160/min, as well as the now-flow-time. Aim of this study is to investigate how narrowness and movement during a transport affect the CPR-performance. For this, we examine the impact of the common transport options (air and ground) on the outcome-varity on a manikin. The subjects for this study are professional rescuers (emergency physicians / paramedics) who perform a 10 minute ALS-CPR in either normal circumstances (resuscitation-room) or during transportation.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
The average achieved cardiac output
Time Frame: after 10 minutes
The main goal of the study is the average achieved cardiac output. Data acquisition is carried out on a resuscitation-manikin which can measure compression-rate (CR) and compression-depth (CD). The data are recorded by a computer during the CPR. To calculate the cardiac output, we multiply the average CR \[1/min\] with the average CD \[mm\] during the 10 min manikin-resuscitation. The thus obtained average cardiac-output (CO = CR x CD), measured in \[mm/min\], will be compared in each group.
Secondary Outcomes
- Now-flow-time(after 10 minutes)
