The Effect of Attention Distractor on the Quality of Chest Compression

The Effect of Attention Distractor During Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation on the Quality of Chest Compression: Randomized Crossover Trial With Simulated Situation

The investigators plan to investigate the effect of attention distractor on the quality of chest compression during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. For this, a simulated study with Manikin is performed and the paced auditory serial addition test (PASAT) is used for distracting performer's attention.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
OTHER: CPR with attention distraction first; First, they perform two-minute chest compressions with conducting the PASAT. After 20 mins' rest, they perform two-minute chest compressions without conducting the PASAT.	Other: paced auditory serial addition test (PASAT); A number between 1 to 9 is called every three seconds through a speaker, and the performer calculates the last two numbers and shouts the answer.
OTHER: CPR without attention distraction first; First, they perform two-minute chest compressions without conducting the PASAT. After 20 mins' rest, they perform two-minute chest compressions with conducting the PASAT.	Other: paced auditory serial addition test (PASAT); A number between 1 to 9 is called every three seconds through a speaker, and the performer calculates the last two numbers and shouts the answer.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
adequate compression rate	the percentage of chest compression with adequate rate (100-120 per minute) during two-minute chest compression. Formula(%)=number of adequate chest compressions (rate:100-120/min) x 100 / number of all chest compressions during two minutes	two minutes

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
adequate compression depth	the percentage of chest compression with adequate depth (5-6cm) during two-minute chest compression. Formula(%)= number of adequate chest compressions(depth=5-6cm)x 100 / all chest compressions during two minutes	two minutes
adequate chest recoil	the percentage of chest compression with adequate chest recoil during two-minute chest compression. Formula(%)=number of adequate chest recoils(automatically measured with simulator) x 100/ number of all chest compressions during two minutes	two minutes
mean compression rate	Average of compression rate during two-minute chest compression. The scale for this outome is 'number per minute'.	two minutes
mean compression depth	Average of compression depth during two-minute chest compression. The scale for this outcome is 'cm'.	two minutes
Subjective difficulty	Each performer rate the subjective difficulties of two arms with the 100mm VAS (0: very easy, 100: very difficult)	Two minutes
