Summary

In an attempt to enhance OHCA survival by increasing bystander CPR rate, this study will assess the effectiveness of the new basic life support with dispatch assistance (DA-BLS) education program through a simulation experiment.

This study aims to determine whether the new DA-BLS program for possible home bystanders is associated with improved CPR quality. We expect home bystanders who were trained with new DA-BLS education program to show better compliance with CPR instructions given by dispatcher via telephone along with improved CPR quality.

Conditions

  • Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest
  • Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

Interventions

Dispatcher-Assisted Basic Life Support CPR Education

The training program focuses on working in a team with a dispatcher, re-enacting all steps during an emergency call from recognition of cardiac arrest to performing CPR. The one hour training session is split into four parts: 1. Video self-instruction manikin practice (30 min), including a brief introduction to AED. 2. Practice in pairs (15 min): Role-playing a simulated emergency scenario as the dispatcher and the rescuer 3. Debriefing (15 min): Questions, answers and reflection 4. Homework: Information leaflet handed out including at-home tasks such as operating the speakerphone function on the layperson's own phone
