Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| mean compression depth (mm) at timepoint 6 h of exposure | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| • mean compression depth (mm) at timepoints 1 h and 3 h of exposure • mean compression frequency (number/min) • number of compressions with correct compression depth • number of compressions with too deep compression depth (>60 mm) • number of compressions with too low compression depth (20 mm depth before start of next compression) • No-flow-time (>2 s with no chest compression) • peripheral oxygensaturation, SpO2 (%), mean SpO2 averaged over 5 min at each timepoint as well as 30-s averages at the beginning, in the middle, and at the end of the 5-min-cardiac-compression-only • heart rate (beats per minute), mean heart rate averaged over 5 min at each timepoint as well as 30-s averages at the beginning, in the middle, and at the end of the 5-min-cardiac-compression-only | — |
