Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Comparison of various methods to improve the quality of CPR

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Even for paramedics and emergency physicians, the resuscitation of patients with cardiac arrest remains a challenge. Previous studies have shown that the cardiac output varies widely even among professional helpers. This is especially due to some very different mean frequencies of cardiac compression wich vary from 60 to 160/min for paramedics. Aim of this study is to investigate whether the use of feedback-devices during cardiac-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) can lead to an improvement of the cardiac output and may improve survival.

For this, we examine the impact of different feedback-methods on the frequence-variety on manikin by lay rescuers. Overall, we compare three different devices for feedback during CPR. The subjects for this study are lay rescuers who perform a 5 minute chest-compression-only CPR.
