Real-time visual feedback during training improves lay people's CPR quality: a randomized controlled manikin study

Not Applicable

• Conditions: CPR quality improvement with the use of CPR feedback devices during training

• Registration Number: JPRN-UMIN000017851
• Lead Sponsor: Pavia nel Cuore

Brief Summary

Comparing group 0 vs group 10 and group 0 vs group 1 there was a significant improvement in the percentage of compressions with correct depth (gr.0 vs gr.10, p=0.022 and gr.0 vs gr.1, p=0.005), in the percentage of compressions with complete chest recoil (both p<0.001), in the percentage of compressions with correct hand position (p=0.002 and p<0.001 respectively) and in Total CPR score (both p<0.001) in the groups in which the feedback was used. Furthermore, there were no statistically significant differences for all the parameters between group 1 and group 10.
