Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Comparison of quality of cardiopulmonal resuscitation: 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.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Reasons in case of early break off

Countries
