Quality of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Guided by AED vs Telephone-assistance

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
Registration Number
NCT03771911
Lead Sponsor
Bionorte
Brief Summary

The aim of this research is to evaluate and to compare the quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) among untrained laypeople under two different scenarios: automated external defibrillator (AED) guided CPR or dispatcher-assisted CPR. Secondarily, to evaluate the quality of the dispatcher-assisted instructions provided from the emergency call center.

Detailed Description

A simulation study will beperformed. 42 volunteers selected by non-probabilistic sampling will be randomized in two scenarios of cardiac arrest on mannequin: (A) AED-guided CPR and (T) dispatcher-assisted CPR. Simulations last 9 minutes. The quality of CPR will be evaluated by metric monitoring of the chest compressions and timing of actions. A peer's content analysis of the telephone instructions will be performed using a checklist.
