Evaluation of Efficacy of Online Real-time Home CPR Training Program

Evaluation of Efficacy of Online Real-time Home CPR Training Program : a Randomized Open-label Clinical Trial

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a real-time home CPR(cardiopulmonary resuscitation) training program. The study participants will be allocated to two different CPR training programs. The intervention group will participate in the real-time home CPR training program while the control group will participate in the conventional CPR training program. The investigators will compare the quality of chest compression between the two study groups. The investigators hypothesize that the new real-time home CPR training program is non-inferior to the preexisting conventional CPR training program.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation; Education; Cardiopulmonary Arrest
• Intervention / Treatment: Other: Real-time home CPR training; Other: Conventional CPR training

Detailed Description

Bystander CPR(cardiopulmonary resuscitation) is important for the survival of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients. CPR training for the general public is important to improve the rate and quality of bystander CPR. Conventional CPR education was conducted under face-to-face contact with instructors and multiple trainees gathered at a training center, but after the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, face-to-face training became difficult. To overcome this limitation the investigators have developed a new real-time home CPR training program. The training program delivers Little Anne QCPR mannequins (Laerdal, Stavanger, Norway) to each participants homes and the participants use an application specifically developed for CPR training that automatically connects wirelessly to the Little Anne QCPR mannequin through Bluetooth so that the instructor can give real-time feedback on chest compression quality to participants.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a real-time home CPR(cardiopulmonary resuscitation) training program. The study participants will be allocated to two different CPR training programs. The intervention group will participate in the real-time home CPR training program while the control group will participate in the conventional CPR training program. The investigators will compare the quality of chest compression between the two study groups. Chest compression quality at the start of both training programs and after completion of the programs will be measured by Little Anne QCPR mannequins used in the training programs. The investigators hypothesize that the new real-time home CPR training program is non-inferior to the preexisting conventional CPR training program.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: Real-time home CPR training; Online real-time home CPR(cardiopulmonary resuscitation) training will be provided to participants	Other: Real-time home CPR training; The participants in the intervention group will have Little Anne QCPR mannequins (Laerdal, Stavanger, Norway) delivered to their homes. The participants will use an online platform specifically developed for CPR training (HEROS Remote app). The training program will provide video-based self-instruction training followed by hands-on chest compression training with the instructor. The hands-on chest compression training session provides real-time chest compression quality measurement followed by real-time feedback from the instructor. Chest compression quality will be measured by Little Anne QCPR mannequins.
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: Conventional CPR training; Conventional CPR training will be provided to participants	Other: Conventional CPR training; Participants in the conventional CPR training program group will be provided CPR education with the "Home Education and Resuscitation Outcome Study (HEROS)" program that is currently provided in Seoul, Korea. The HEROS program is a 1-hour training course, consisting of a 30-minute video-based self-instruction training with a mannequin. The program also includes a bystander CPR simulation with a simulated dispatcher using the participants own cell phone. Little Anne QCPR mannequins will be provided to measure and give feedback on the participants chest compression performance.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Average compression depth	Average compression depth of chest compression performed for 2 minutes	Immediately after the training program has been completed, participants will be asked to perform chest compression for 2 minutes. The outcome measure will be collected from the 2 minutes of chest compression at this point.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Proportion of adequate compression depth	Proportion of adequate compression depth performed for 2 minutes	Immediately after the training program has been completed, participants will be asked to perform chest compression for 2 minutes. The outcome measure will be collected from the 2 minutes of chest compression at this point.
Average compression rate	Average compression rate of chest compression performed for 2 minutes	Immediately after the training program has been completed, participants will be asked to perform chest compression for 2 minutes. The outcome measure will be collected from the 2 minutes of chest compression at this point.
Proportion of adequate compression rate	Proportion of adequate compression rate performed for 2 minutes	Immediately after the training program has been completed, participants will be asked to perform chest compression for 2 minutes. The outcome measure will be collected from the 2 minutes of chest compression at this point.
No-flow fraction	Proportion of no-flow time during 2 minutes of chest compression	Immediately after the training program has been completed, participants will be asked to perform chest compression for 2 minutes. The outcome measure will be collected from the 2 minutes of chest compression at this point.
