Brief summary

The aim of the research is to find out what effect the standardization of ambulance equipment has on the speed of performing specific medical procedures.

Detailed description

The aim of the research is to find out what effect the standardization of ambulance equipment has on the speed of performing specific medical procedures. In two simulated scenarios, the times from the decision to execution of medical procedures will be measured. In the first scenario, the equipment is located in the standard way and the research participants know where it is located. In the second scenario, the equipment is placed elsewhere and participants do not have the opportunity to check the equipment before the scenario. For the statistical comparison the Student's T-test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test will be used. For analysis of variance will be used the ANOVA test and for more than two dependent selections the Friedman's ANOVA test will be used.
