The Effect of Attention Distractor on the Quality of Chest Compression

The investigators plan to investigate the effect of attention distractor on the quality of chest compression during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. For this, a simulated study with Manikin is performed and the paced auditory serial addition test (PASAT) is used for distracting performer's attention.

Treatment and study plan

paced auditory serial addition test (PASAT)

Other

A number between 1 to 9 is called every three seconds through a speaker, and the performer calculates the last two numbers and shouts the answer.

Primary outcomes

  1. adequate compression rate

    Time frame: two minutes

    the percentage of chest compression with adequate rate (100-120 per minute) during two-minute chest compression. Formula(%)=number of adequate chest compressions (rate:100-120/min) x 100 / number of all chest compressions during two minutes

Secondary outcomes

  1. adequate compression depth

    Time frame: two minutes

    the percentage of chest compression with adequate depth (5-6cm) during two-minute chest compression. Formula(%)= number of adequate chest compressions(depth=5-6cm)x 100 / all chest compressions during two minutes

  2. adequate chest recoil

    Time frame: two minutes

    the percentage of chest compression with adequate chest recoil during two-minute chest compression. Formula(%)=number of adequate chest recoils(automatically measured with simulator) x 100/ number of all chest compressions during two minutes

  3. mean compression rate

    Time frame: two minutes

    Average of compression rate during two-minute chest compression. The scale for this outome is 'number per minute'.

  4. mean compression depth

    Time frame: two minutes

    Average of compression depth during two-minute chest compression. The scale for this outcome is 'cm'.

  5. Subjective difficulty

    Time frame: Two minutes

    Each performer rate the subjective difficulties of two arms with the 100mm VAS (0: very easy, 100: very difficult)
