Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Traditional learning	Standard BLS	chest compression group learning without CPR feedback device. After a month of quality control of chest compressions is made also without the device.
Experimental learning	Standard BLS	Training is done using TrueCPR feedback device. After a month of quality control of chest compressions is made without the device. To do this will be indicated on the impact of the use of feedback devices for improving the effectiveness of training in CPR.
Experimental learning	TrueCPR	Training is done using TrueCPR feedback device. After a month of quality control of chest compressions is made without the device. To do this will be indicated on the impact of the use of feedback devices for improving the effectiveness of training in CPR.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Effective compressions compression with correct depth (40-50mm), correct hand position and complete decompressions	1 month	effective compressions was defined as compression with correct depth (40-50mm), correct hand position and complete decompressions

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
effective compressions ratio effective compressions [%] multiplied by flow time [%]	1 month	effective compressions ratio was defined as effective compressions \[%\] multiplied by flow time \[%\]
Flow time sum of all periods during which chest compressions were performed.	1 month	flow time was defined as the sum of all periods during which chest compressions were performed.
absolute hands-off time sum of all periods without chest compressions or ventilation	1 month	absolute hands-off time (HOT) was defined as the sum of all periods without chest compressions or ventilation
Compression depth compression in correct depth (40-50mm) measured by the software is connected to the manikin and computer	1 month	compression in correct depth (40-50mm) measured by the software is connected to the manikin and computer
