Instruction to Compress Chest Approximately 6-7cm for Healthcare Provider in Hospital

Unlikely the other element for high quality chest compression during Cardiopulmonary resuscitation(i.e. compression rate, chest recoil, hand position), chest compression depth (CCD) is influenced by surface on which the patient is placed, especially in hospital. For solving this problem, to place the patient on rigid surface, use a backboard that might decrease the mattress compression, receive a feedback that reflects the mattress compression depth (MCD) using dual accelerometer or magnetic sensor have been proposed. As the other solution, we hypothesized that training of 6-7cm CCD for healthcare providers improve accurate CCD during cardiopulmonary resuscitation when manikin is placed on mattress in hospital.

Treatment and study plan

Education of chest compression depth

Behavioral

An American Heart Association Basic Life Support faculty educated each participant in Experimental group a standard 30-min lecture and hands- on practice for chest compression without ventilation using manikin on the floor according to 5-6cm or 6-7cm chest compression depth

Primary outcomes

  1. Change of Chest compression depth at 4 weeks

    Time frame: 1 hour and 4weeks later after education

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change of Chest compression rate at 4 weeks

    Time frame: 1 hour and 4weeks later after education

Other outcomes

  1. Change of number of Chest decompression at 4 weeks

    Time frame: 1 hour and 4weeks later after education
