Video-assisted Telephone CPR With the EmergencyEye-Software - a Pilot Study - Proof of Concept

Technical advance as broad-bandwidth wireless internet coverage and the ubiquity utilization of smartphones has opened up new possibilities which surpass the normal audio-only telephony. High quality and real-time video-telephony is now feasible. However until now this technology hasn't been deployed in the emergency respond service.

In the hope of helping the detection of the cardiac arrest, offer the possibility to evaluate and correct via a video-instructed CPR (V-CPR) and to facilitate a fast localization of the emergency site, a new software (EmergencyEye®/RAMSES®) was developed which enables the dispatcher a video-telephony with the callers mobile terminal (smartphone) if suitable.

This technology hasn't been tested in a randomized controlled trial in real environment conditions yet. This is to be done in this study.

Treatment and study plan

EmergencyEye

Device

EmergencyEye Smartphone App

Primary outcomes

  1. Recognition of CPR quality through video transmission

    Time frame: 1 minute of CPR

    Recognition of CPR quality (3 conditions are randomized in each CPR, i.e. Frequency, Compression Depth, Compression Point) in Video-assisted CPR

Secondary outcomes

  1. Time to first chest compression

    Time frame: Study duration (approx. 1 minute)

    Time measured from the beginning of the emergency call to the first chest compression

  2. Precision of Geolocalisation

    Time frame: Study duration (approx. 1 minute)

    Precision of Geolocalisation, i.e. difference between verbally localized and automatically localized (aGPS) respondes to emergency call. Difference in runtimes of dispatched ambulances will be calculated
