Brief Summary

There is a gap in our knowledge regarding whether video-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation (V-CPR) is feasible when a lay responder is alone at the scene. The feasibility of V-CPR was measured in a simulated cardiac arrest scenario when a lay responder was alone with the patient.

Detailed Description

There is a gap in our knowledge regarding whether video-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation (V-CPR) is feasible when a lay responder is alone. The feasibility of V-CPR was measured in a simulated cardiac arrest scenario when a lay responder was alone with the patient. A pilot study was conducted to measure the appropriate smartphone position and placement time when a lay responder is alone. Two simulated cardiac arrest locations were prepared: a living room and yard.

The performance of the participants were recorded. After that, the quality and assessability of the videos were evaluated by five experts (experienced in CPR teaching and evaluation).

Conditions

Cardiac Arrest (CA)

Study Design

• Allocation Method: RANDOMIZED
• Intervention Model: CROSSOVER
• Primary Study Purpose: TREATMENT
• Blinding Strategy: TRIPLE

Study Groups

V-CPR in the room

Participants should perform a simulated V-CPR scenario based on the European Resuscitation Council 2021 Guidelines in a prepared room (inside environment).

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

V-CPR inside a room when the lay responder is alone (no operator for holding the phone)

Intervention Type: DEVICE

Participants should find an appropriate smartphone position when they were able to use any objects in their environment. Participants get video-based (vocal and visual) instructions from the dispatcher during the V-CPR situation.

V-CPR in a yard (outside environment) when the lay responder is alone (no operator for holding the phone)

Intervention Type: DEVICE

Participants should find an appropriate smartphone position when they were able to use any objects in their environment. Participants get video-based (vocal and visual) instructions from the dispatcher during the V-CPR situation.

V-CPR outside

Participants should perform a simulated V-CPR scenario based on the European Resuscitation Council 2021 Guidelines in a prepared yard (outside environment).

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

V-CPR inside a room when the lay responder is alone (no operator for holding the phone)

Intervention Type: DEVICE

Participants should find an appropriate smartphone position when they were able to use any objects in their environment. Participants get video-based (vocal and visual) instructions from the dispatcher during the V-CPR situation.
