Brief summary
The objective of our randomized simulation study on mannequins with a population of Basic Life Support students is to compare the quality of chest compressions, taking depth as the main variable, in two simulated scenarios of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest on a bed: one where Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation is performed on the bed and another where the patient is transferred to the ground for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation.
Interventions
OTHERFloor
Uninterrupted 2-minute chest compressions on a manikin that has been moved from the bed to the floor in a simulated scenario of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
OTHERBed
Uninterrupted 2-minute chest compressions on a manikin that is laying on bed in a simulated scenario of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
