Brief Summary

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

Investigation of the influence of narrowness and unusual circumstances on the CPR-quality

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 under normal ambient conditions. Especially the mean frequenices of cardiac compression varies from 60 to 160/min, as well as the now-flow-time. Aim of this study is to investigate how narrowness and movement during a transport affect the CPR-performance.

For this, we examine the impact of the common transport options (air and ground) on the outcome-varity on a manikin. The subjects for this study are professional rescuers (emergency physicians / paramedics) who perform a 10 minute ALS-CPR in either normal circumstances (resuscitation-room) or during transportation.
