Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Comparison of quality of cardiopulmonal resuscitation. Therefor we measure the time to first thorax compression, total number of thorax compressions, number of correctly performed thorax compressions (compression depth and frequency), mean compression frequency, number of compressions with correct frequency, correct hand position, correct thorax release and no flow time. Additionally we compare these parameters from minute one to eight.	—
