About this study

This is a non inferiority cluster randomized trial on three Emergency Departments (ED) and five Intensive Care Unit (ICU) from three urban academic hospital in Paris, France. The investigators evaluated the quality of CC with a low-fidelity manikin and its electronic feedback device. The investigators tested subjects on a 6-minutes CC-only CPR scenario, including 2 minutes of pause. Physicians were tested either on a control day then after a night shift, or after a night shift then on a control day.

  • Resident / Physicians in emergency departement (ED) or taking night in ED
  • Resident / Physicians in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) or taking night in ED

Primary outcomes

  1. the proportion of CC with a depth higher than 50mm

    Time frame: 2 minutes of chest compressions

    The investigators evaluated the quality of CC with a low-fidelity manikin and its electronic feedback device.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of chest compressions

    Time frame: 2 minutes

    The investigators evaluated the quality of CC with a low-fidelity manikin and its electronic feedback device.

Other outcomes
