44 participants in 2 patient groups

CPR with attention distraction first

Other group

Description:

First, they perform two-minute chest compressions with conducting the PASAT. After 20 mins' rest, they perform two-minute chest compressions without conducting the PASAT.

Treatment:

Other: paced auditory serial addition test (PASAT)

CPR without attention distraction first

Other group

Description:

First, they perform two-minute chest compressions without conducting the PASAT. After 20 mins' rest, they perform two-minute chest compressions with conducting the PASAT.
