Summary

Cardiac arrest is handled by cardiopulmonary resuscitation which is a time critical emergency situation. The actions during resuscitation are lead by international guidelines. Traditionally, the main focus of the training has been on medical knowledge and technical skills (TS). Nowadays non-technical skills (NTS), such as communication, teamwork behaviour, and leadership, are considered at least equally important.

The aim of this study is to evaluate both TS and NTS of the resuscitation team during real-life resuscitation situations using a validated assessment tool. The association between TS and NTS will be analyzed. Findings from this study may help to recognize the possible weaknesses and issues which could be improved by training. Hypothesis is that that TS are probably in a high level, but some improvement points of NTS are ought to be known better. Investigators hypothesis that the good NTS performance in resuscitation is accompanied by good TS performance.
