Summary

Investigators designed the novel combining technique that rescuer start the chest compression with one hand during calling for help to the Emergency Medical System (EMS) via a cell phone with another hand when he witnessed the arrest victim. This method may be helpful to reduce the hand-off time and increase the faction time of chest compression until the arrival of EMS members.

To verify this hypothesis, we conducted a random, controlled simulation study.

Conditions

  • Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Combi lone-CPR

When study participants meet the arrest victim (simulated), they start chest compression and call for help to EMS at the same time, then continue the chest compression and 2 breath alternatively until the EMS arrival

BEHAVIORAL

Conventional lone-CPR

When study participants meet the arrest victim (simulated), they first call for help to EMS and then start chest compression and 2 breath alternatively until the EMS arrival
