Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
chest compressions effectiveness	1 day	the percentage of correct chest compressions relative to the total number of chest compressions

Secondary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Depth	1 day	correct depth according to European Resuscitation Council 2015 guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation
Pressure point	1 day	correct pressure point according to European Resuscitation Council 2015 guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation
Complete pressure release	1 day	Complete pressure release measure by manikin software
Rate of chest compressions	1 day	correct chest compressions rate according to European Resuscitation Council 2015 guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation
Ease-of-use	1 day	To access subjective opinion about the difficulty of each chest compression method, participants were asked to rate it on a visual analog scale (VAS) with a score from 1 (extremely easy) to 10 (extremely difficult).
