V-CPR alone at the scene

Details and patient eligibility

About

There is a gap in our knowledge regarding whether video-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation (V-CPR) is feasible when a lay responder is alone at the scene. The feasibility of V-CPR was measured in a simulated cardiac arrest scenario when a lay responder was alone with the patient.

Full description

There is a gap in our knowledge regarding whether video-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation (V-CPR) is feasible when a lay responder is alone. The feasibility of V-CPR was measured in a simulated cardiac arrest scenario when a lay responder was alone with the patient. A pilot study was conducted to measure the appropriate smartphone position and placement time when a lay responder is alone. Two simulated cardiac arrest locations were prepared: a living room and yard.

The performance of the participants were recorded. After that, the quality and assessability of the videos were evaluated by five experts (experienced in CPR teaching and evaluation).

10 participants in 2 patient groups

V-CPR in the room

Experimental group

Description:

Participants should perform a simulated V-CPR scenario based on the European Resuscitation Council 2021 Guidelines in a prepared room (inside environment).

Treatment:

Device: V-CPR in a yard (outside environment) when the lay responder is alone (no operator for holding the phone)

Device: V-CPR inside a room when the lay responder is alone (no operator for holding the phone)

V-CPR outside

Experimental group

Description:

Participants should perform a simulated V-CPR scenario based on the European Resuscitation Council 2021 Guidelines in a prepared yard (outside environment).

Treatment:

Device: V-CPR in a yard (outside environment) when the lay responder is alone (no operator for holding the phone)

Device: V-CPR inside a room when the lay responder is alone (no operator for holding the phone)
