Summary

This study will evaluate an educational training program for police officers in New Taipei City, Taiwan. Police officers may arrive at out-of-hospital cardiac arrest events before emergency medical services and may be able to provide early cardiopulmonary resuscitation and automated external defibrillator support. However, abnormal gasping or agonal breathing can be mistaken for normal breathing and may delay recognition of cardiac arrest.

Participants will receive a single training session consisting of an adult CPR refresher course and agonal breathing recognition training. Anonymous online questionnaires will be completed before and immediately after the training. The study will compare pre-training and post-training questionnaire results to assess changes in agonal breathing recognition accuracy, CPR-related knowledge, and course satisfaction.

Conditions

  • Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA)
  • Agonal Breathing
  • Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Training

CPR Refresher and Agonal Breathing Recognition Training

A single-session educational training program consisting of a 20-minute adult CPR refresher course and a 40-minute agonal breathing recognition training session. The CPR refresher covers the emergency response sequence, chest compression quality, compression depth and rate, and complications of chest compression. The agonal breathing recognition session covers pathophysiology, clinical presentation, real-case video-based recognition practice, and analysis of common recognition errors.
