Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Comparison of the average pressure depth (mm) of chest compressions with and without feedback at night referring to time intervals at the beginning (30-90s) and at the end (480-540s) of the chest compression performance. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| We compare the following parameters between the study groups "day without feedback" (dwof) with "night without feedback" (nwof), as well as "day with feedback" (dwf) with "night with feedback" (nwf). The evaluation is based on the total period with chest compressions of 3x2=6 minutes, 1st, 2nd and 3rd cycle of chest compressions (2 minutes each) as well as minute by minute during the cycles with chest compressions. - average pressure depth (mm) of chest compressions - number of chest compressions performed per subject - Number of chest compressions with adequate/too low/too high pressure depth (n), and in relation to the number of chest compressions performed. - Number of chest compressions with correct unloading of the thorax (n), and in relation to the number of chest compressions performed (%) - Number of chest compressions with correct positioning of the hand on the thorax (n), and in relation to the total number of chest compressions performed (%) - Number of effective chest compressions (n) and in relation to the total number of compressions performed (%): composite value of compressions with correct depth of pressure, correct hand position and subsequent correct unloading of the chest - Average compression frequency - "No-flow" time, (defined as an interruption of chest compressions > 2s and if compression depth is <20mm for more than 2 seconds) -Differences in the above parameters depending on gender, age, work experience, body mass index or occupational group (e.g. medical staff, paramedics, nurses). | — |
