April 21, 2011 updated by: University Hospital Muenster

Quality of Out-of-hospital Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) With Real Time Automated Feedback: a Prospective Randomized Study

The purpose of this study is to determine whether an online automatic feedback improved CPR quality (No-flow time, compression depth, short-term survival and one year follow up) in this prospective randomised study of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
