About this study
Official title: A Randomized Controlled Study Focused on Impact of Adding Video Communication to Dispatch Instruction on the Quality of CPR, Including Chest Compressions and Rescue Breaths, in Simulated Cardiac Arrests
The purpose of this study is to determine whether adding interactive video communication to dispatch instruction improves the quality of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation in simulated cardiac arrests.
Read the detailed description
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a leading cause of adult death and bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) significantly improves survival. Dispatch assistance increases the chance of bystander CPR but the quality of dispatcher-assisted CPR (DA-CPR) remains unsatisfactory. This study is conducted to assess the effect of adding interactive video communication to dispatch instruction on the quality of bystander CPR, including chest compressions and rescue breathing, in simulated cardiac arrests.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
video cell phoneDevice
the "voice group" received voice CPR instruction via a voice-only cell phone, and the "video group" received interactive voice and video instruction via a video cell phone
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| voice group | Placebo comparator | the "voice group" received voice CPR instruction via a voice-only cell phone Receives: Device: video cell phone |
| video group | Experimental | the "video group" received interactive voice and video instruction via a video cell phone Receives: Device: video cell phone |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
quality of chest compressions and rescue breaths
Measured: every 30 seconds
Secondary outcomes (1)
spent time to first effective chest compression and rescue breath
Measured: expressed as seconds

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing video cell phone in people with Cardiac Arrest, run by National Taiwan University Hospital.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Nov 2007. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
quality of chest compressions and rescue breaths (time frame: every 30 seconds). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00564616, which also lists 2 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Nov 2007.
