Combining Performance of Call EMS and Simultaneous Chest Compressions in a Lone Rescuer CPR

September 7, 2016 updated by: Sang O, Park, Konkuk University Medical Center

A Study of Evaluation of Effectiveness on the Combining Performance of Call Emergency Medical System (EMS) and Simultaneous Chest Compressions With One Hand in a Lone Rescuer CPR: a Simulation Study Using the Manikin

Investigators designed the novel combining technique that rescuer start the chest compression with one hand during calling for help to the Emergency Medical System (EMS) via a cell phone with another hand when he witnessed the arrest victim. This method may be helpful to reduce the hand-off time and increase the faction time of chest compression until the arrival of EMS members.

To verify this hypothesis, we conducted a random, controlled simulation study.

Detailed Description

This study used a random, controlled design in the simulation setting using a manikin. Study participants were recruited from healthy adult (age > 18 years) laypersons who attended the BLS training courses provided by the BLS training class.

The simulation scenario consists of witness of an out of hospital cardiac arrest and activation of the EMS system with the prepared cellular phone. Interventional method contained the immediate starting of the chest compression with one hand during the calling for help to the EMS via a cell phone with another hand.

We compare the quality of CPR between the novel interventional method (start CPR during Call to EMS) and conventional method (First Call to EMS and then start CPR).

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Combi lone-CPR

Intervention group

: Newly developed method
Behavioral: Combi lone-CPR
When study participants meet the arrest victim (simulated), they start chest compression and call for help to EMS at the same time, then continue the chest compression and 2 breath alternatively until the EMS arrival
Active Comparator: Conventional lone-CPR
Conventional CPR group
Behavioral: Conventional lone-CPR
When study participants meet the arrest victim (simulated), they first call for help to EMS and then start chest compression and 2 breath alternatively until the EMS arrival
