Feasibility of Appropriate Smartphone Position During Video-assisted Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

Feasibility of Appropriate Smartphone Position During Video-assisted Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation When the Bystander is Alone At the Scene - a Randomized Controlled Crossover Simulation Trial

There is a gap in our knowledge regarding whether video-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation (V-CPR) is feasible when a lay responder is alone at the scene. The feasibility of V-CPR was measured in a simulated cardiac arrest scenario when a lay responder was alone with the patient.

There is a gap in our knowledge regarding whether video-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation (V-CPR) is feasible when a lay responder is alone. The feasibility of V-CPR was measured in a simulated cardiac arrest scenario when a lay responder was alone with the patient. A pilot study was conducted to measure the appropriate smartphone position and placement time when a lay responder is alone. Two simulated cardiac arrest locations were prepared: a living room and yard.

The performance of the participants were recorded. After that, the quality and assessability of the videos were evaluated by five experts (experienced in CPR teaching and evaluation).

Inclusion Criteria:

• layperson or health care professional, who is phisically and mentally able to do a simulated CPR scenario (participants in the scenario)
• expert in CPR training (assessors)

Exclusion Criteria:

• technical issue during data collection
