CPR Surface Choice on Chest Compression Quality

The objective of our randomized simulation study on mannequins with a population of Basic Life Support students is to compare the quality of chest compressions, taking depth as the main variable, in two simulated scenarios of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest on a bed: one where Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation is performed on the bed and another where the patient is transferred to the ground for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation.

Treatment and study plan

Floor

Other

Uninterrupted 2-minute chest compressions on a manikin that has been moved from the bed to the floor in a simulated scenario of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest

Bed

Other

Uninterrupted 2-minute chest compressions on a manikin that is laying on bed in a simulated scenario of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest

Primary outcomes

  1. Compressions Mean Depth

    Time frame: On the day of the simulation

    Chest Compressions Mean Depth

Secondary outcomes

  1. Time to first chest compression

    Time frame: On the day of the simulation

    The time it takes to initiate chest compressions.

  2. Effectiveness of Chest Compressions

    Time frame: On the day of the simulation

    Global Punctuation of Chest Compressions in Skillreporter app.

  3. Total number of chest compressions

    Time frame: On the day of the simulation

    Total number of chest compressions

  4. Percentage of chest compressions whit correct depth (5-6cm)

    Time frame: On the day of the simulation

    Percentage of compressions whit correct depth (5-6cm)

  5. Mean frequency of chest compressions

    Time frame: On the day of the simulation

    Mean frequency of chest compressions

  6. Percentage of chest compressions with correct frequency

    Time frame: On the day of the simulation

    Percentage of chest compressions with correct frequency

  7. Percentage of chest compressions with correct position of hands

    Time frame: On the day of the simulation

    Percentage of chest compressions with correct position of hands

  8. Percentage of chest compressions with correct release

    Time frame: On the day of the simulation
