Summary

Direct medical control using video conferencing capabilities of smartphones has never been conducted in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients. This study was conducted to investigate its feasibility and treatment effectiveness in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients using a real-time smartphone video call.

Conditions

  • Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest

Interventions

OTHER

Smartphone video-assisted ALS(advanced life support)

As an preparation for this study, personnel training in mock advanced life support (ALS) simulation including the smartphone video call methodology was conducted. The smartphones were not separately purchased or produced; commercially available smartphones already owned by the emergency medical service (EMS) personnel and medical directors were used. To facilitate the smartphone video call between the medical director and the EMS personnel and to prevent the caregivers or others nearby from hearing the conversation, Bluetooth earphone sets were used. Data were collected using the cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) recording form uploaded in SNS which consisted of EMS personnel and medical directors, and the quality of CPR was evaluated
