Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: TREATMENT
  • Allocation: RANDOMIZED
  • Interventional Model: PARALLEL
  • Masking: NONE

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: Traditional learning
chest compression group learning without CPR feedback device. After a month of quality control of chest compressions is made also without the device.
Device: Standard BLS
basic life support without any feedback device
EXPERIMENTAL: Experimental learning
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.
Device: Standard BLS
basic life support without any feedback device
Device: TrueCPR
CPR with feedback device

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Effective compressions compression with correct depth (40-50mm), correct hand position and complete decompressions
Time Frame: 1 month
effective compressions was defined as compression with correct depth (40-50mm), correct hand position and complete decompressions
1 month

Secondary Outcome Measures

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