About this study

Official title: Novel Instruction to Perform Chest Compression Approximately 6-7cm for Healthcare Provider Improves Chest Compression Depth During Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation in Hospital.

Unlikely the other element for high quality chest compression during Cardiopulmonary resuscitation(i.e. compression rate, chest recoil, hand position), chest compression depth (CCD) is influenced by surface on which the patient is placed, especially in hospital. For solving this problem, to place the patient on rigid surface, use a backboard that might decrease the mattress compression, receive a feedback that reflects the mattress compression depth (MCD) using dual accelerometer or magnetic sensor have been proposed. As the other solution, we hypothesized that training of 6-7cm CCD for healthcare providers improve accurate CCD during cardiopulmonary resuscitation when manikin is placed on mattress in hospital.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Education of chest compression depthBehavioural

    An American Heart Association Basic Life Support faculty educated each participant in Experimental group a standard 30-min lecture and hands- on practice for chest compression without ventilation using manikin on the floor according to 5-6cm or 6-7cm chest compression depth

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Education of chest compression depth in people with Cardiac Arrest, run by Jaehoon Oh.

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 6 Sep 2013. 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. 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?

Change of Chest compression depth at 4 weeks (time frame: 1 hour and 4weeks later after education). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 6 Sep 2013.
