Conditions

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, Simulation Training

Brief summary

The investigators plan to investigate the effect of attention distractor on the quality of chest compression during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. For this, a simulated study with Manikin is performed and the paced auditory serial addition test (PASAT) is used for distracting performer's attention.

Interventions

OTHERpaced auditory serial addition test (PASAT)

A number between 1 to 9 is called every three seconds through a speaker, and the performer calculates the last two numbers and shouts the answer.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
adequate compression ratetwo minutesthe percentage of chest compression with adequate rate (100-120 per minute) during two-minute chest compression. Formula(%)=number of adequate chest compressions (rate:100-120/min) x 100 / number of all chest compressions during two minutes

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
adequate compression depthtwo minutesthe percentage of chest compression with adequate depth (5-6cm) during two-minute chest compression. Formula(%)= number of adequate chest compressions(depth=5-6cm)x 100 / all chest compressions during two minutes
adequate chest recoiltwo minutesthe percentage of chest compression with adequate chest recoil during two-minute chest compression. Formula(%)=number of adequate chest recoils(automatically measured with simulator) x 100/ number of all chest compressions during two minutes
mean compression ratetwo minutesAverage of compression rate during two-minute chest compression. The scale for this outome is 'number per minute'.
mean compression depthtwo minutesAverage of compression depth during two-minute chest compression. The scale for this outcome is 'cm'.
Subjective difficultyTwo minutesEach performer rate the subjective difficulties of two arms with the 100mm VAS (0: very easy, 100: very difficult)
