Brief summary

In this study, the investigators compare timely acquirement and effectiveness of 12-lead ECG using patchy-type wireless versus using defibrillator which contain ECG examination function in ambulance. The purpose of this study is to determine the difference of timely acquirement of 12-lead ECG using two different systems and the difference of efficiency of ECG examination in ambulance between two groups. The participants in this simulation study were divided randomly into 2 groups : Group A is performing an ECG examination on mock patient using defibrillator which contained 12-lead ECG checking function. And take a 15 minutes wash out period. After the wash out period, group A subject performing an ECG examination using patchy-type wireless device. Group B subject is performing an ECG examination on mock patient using patchy-type wireless device first, and take a 15 minutes wash out period. After the wash out period, group B performing an ECG examination using defibrillator which contain 12-lead ECG function. Both group's ECG examination is performing in the ambulance.

Interventions

DEVICEpatchy-type wireless ECG

This device consists of a single patchy and save the ECG result as a Potable Document Format. Also can transfer to hospital using wifi-network.

DEVICEdefibrillator ECG

This device is essential equipment in ambulance. For 12-lead ECG examination the connector need to replace for specific cable.
