Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Comparison of the average pressure depth and pressure frequency between the three study groups. Data is acquired by the resuscitation manikin. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| We compare the following parameters between the three study groups. Thereby, we compare the complete time interval of 8 minutes as well as repetitive time intervals of 1 minute. - total number of chest compressions performed (n) - time to first chest compression (s) - number of chest compressions with adequate/superficial/abundant pressure depth (n) and in relation to the total number of chest compressions performed (%) - number of chest compressions with correct chest release (n) and in relation to the total number of chest compressions performed (%) - correct positioning of the hand on the thorax (n) and in relation to the total number of chest compressions performed (%) - number of efficient compressions (n) and in relation to the total number of chest compressions performed (%): composed parameter of compressions with correct depth, correct hand position and correct chest release - no-flow time (defined as the interruption of chest compression > 2sec, and if compression depth 2sec) - average compression frequency - differences in the quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation depending on gender, age, body mass index, previous knowledge (e.g. first aid course) and self assessment of physical fitness. | — |
